Grace Slick - Do It the Hard Way lyrics

(Grace Slick) She's been living to high trying to get through to heaven at night They all knew she was bound to go down 'way before she fell They all know how it feels to try and hold on to the light They know the darkness of the night sky so well But there's just no way to tell her She'll do it the hard way' She's gonna break right through the sign that says This is the end of the ride She'll do it the hard way She's gonna shake the hands of time and try to Turn back the tide She'll do it the hard way She's gonna take whatever she can find until there's No one by her side And there's no place left to hide Se sad I'm gonna get more out of living every day She said I know how to get more out of life if I just had more time If I can just keep on taking when someone else is giving it away That way the sweet life - That'll be all mine in no time But there's just no more time for her Chorus She said I've got to make 'en all think I'm winning so I'll just tell 'em lies That way I can make sure no one ever knows just exactly what I mean Then I can beat the drums and yell it to the skies I'm the queen of the nut house I'm the queen And I can justify myself - say I been cheated I'm the only one in this game who knows how to play And if it weren't for time - I'd never be defeated But people, places and thongs - they get in my way And I don't like what they say She's gonna keep on doing it till she proves that they're all wrong She's got to let 'em know she's the exception to the rule She's got no friends 'cause she thinks she's so damn strong But she's the only one who doesn't know that she's the fool So now I'm asking you What will you do? If you become the fool
