about

Written by annA rydeR in April 1992

lyrics

IT'S HARD TO BE A CHILD, IT'S HARD TO BE A CHILD
IN THIS WORLD ONLY ONE THING COUNTS
OH IT'S THE MONEY THERE IS NO DOUBT

If I speak, they do not listen
If I listen, they just tell lies
If I touch, they smack my hand
The best I can do is close my eyes
The best I can do is close my eyes

IT'S HARD TO BE SO YOUNG, IT'S HARD TO BE SO YOUNG
I'M NOT A REBEL NOR AM I FREE
ONLY ONE THING MATTERS AND THAT'S THE MONEY

And if I look, they say turn away
And if I taste, spit it out they say
But I know one thing that they don't know
They sealed my future a long time ago
They sealed my future a long time ago

IT'S HARD TO BE A CHILD, IT'S HARD TO BE A CHILD
IN THIS WORLD ONLY ONE THING COUNTS
AND THAT'S THE MONEY THERE IS NO DOUBT

All my ideas they say are too simple
Life isn't as easy as you make out
You're too naive to make decisions
Leave to us we know what life's about
We know what life's about

IT'S HARD TO BE A GROWING CHILD, IT'S HARD TO BE A GROWING CHILD
AS ALL AROUND YOU THE WORLD GROWS SMALL
YOU FORGET THAT MONEY DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL
YOU FORGET THAT MONEY DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL
