It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us
'Stead of treated
We get tricked
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked
It's the hard-knock life
Don't it feel like the wind is always howlin'?
Don't it seem like there's never any light?
Once a day, don't you wanna throw the towel in?
It's easier than puttin' up a fight
No one's there when your dreams at night get creepy
No one cares if you grow or if you shrink
Empty belly life
Rotten smelly life
Full of sorrow life
No tomorrow life
Santa Clause we never see
Santa Clause what's that? Who's he?
No one cares for you a bit
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life
(Make my bathroom shine but don't touch my medicine cabinet)
It's the hard-knock life for us (Yank the whiskers from her chin)
It's the hard-knock life for us (Jab her with a safety pin)
'Stead of treated
We get tricked (Send her to the looney bin)
'Stead of kisses
We get kicked
It's the hard-knock life for us (Yank the whiskers from her chin)
It's the hard-knock life for us (Jab her with a safety pin)
No one cares for you a bit (Send her to the looney bin)
When you're a foster kid
It's the hard-knock life
(It's the hard-knock life)
