Bound For Glory - School Of Hard Knocks lyrics

School of hard knocks Welcome to the streets of no return When one wrong move leaves you to burn You look around you see a world of pain Yet you gotta be hard to avoid the flames You'll roll the dice of destiny It's the only chance if you want to be free Get a good shake, you'll break the curse But if you lose things wil only get worse Sub Chorus Riot in the city streets Fire engulf the weak Fibers of society to tear As the american dream ecomes a nightmare Chorus That's life in the school of hard knocks Where people try to swim rivers of concrete sox That's life in the school of hard knocks Where departure comes easy in a pine wood box Read the lines another one deceased Violence reigns in this time of peace No haven is safe for your kids or wife For a measly dollar some will take your life Yet you gotta be mean bring down the boat 10 eyes for an eye, 10 teeth for a tooth In the concrete jungle ther is just one rule Do unto others before they do unto you From thsi urban nightmare there is no escape Your chance for survival depends on your Learning to hate Its survival of the fittest, the weak will die When you look at the reaper, spit in his eye!
