Eels - Rock Hard Times lyrics

They told me that i couldn't come back here again Took me for some kind of fool Said i was doing things that never should be done But i don't care about their rules As if i cared 'bout the little minds In the little heads of the herd There's nothing you could dream Would be more absurd And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times I don't know what it is they're trying to do to me Make me into some sick joke But no one's laughing And least of all not me It's hard to laugh as you choke Hollywood lies piled up to the sky Floating your way soon Hope you like the rotten stench of doom And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times I don't know what it is they think i'm gonna try They don't know what they need to fear The surest sign that the end is coming soon Is right there in the bathroom mirror Everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times These are rock hard times
