Kiss — Hard Times

[Verse 1] Well, I recall days in the city And I think back, Oh what a pity Remembering how it wasn't pretty Every day life in the city Out in the street we had to take it With friends around, couldn't fake it What wasn't there, we had to make it Hanging out down in the city [Chorus] The hard times are dead and gone But the hard times have made me strong And the hard times have made me see That the hard times ain't where I want to be [Verse 2] We had to fight to be accepted It wasn't right and I protested For hanging out we got arrested Every day life in the city We'd go to school and then we'd cut out Go to the park and space our heads out We called it fun but there was some doubt Hangin out down in the city [Chorus] [Bridge] I don't want to be there or even think back I don't want to be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah [Chorus] [Outro] I don't want to be there or even think back I don't want to be there, because I'm on the right track Now I'm on the right track I'm finally on the right track[x2]
