The Hard Way Guided by Voices

[Verse 1]
Man, there's a whale out of water
Lord, there's a bone on a string
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
Still, there's release for the wicked
Weak feet and tired arms, watch them flail
Cold and pale, the hard way
Cold and pale, the hard way

[Verse 2]
And so we drown in the animal sea
The factory of human pride
The place where I was born
The place where my father died

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Last but not least there's an army
Marching like stoned ghosts in hell
Into the wishing well, the hard way
Wishing well, the hard way

[Refrain]
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
Doin' everything the hard way
We're doin' everything the hard way
