Текст песни It's a Hard Knock Life - Charles Strouse

It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us

Steada treated,
We get tricked
Steada 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 Claus we never see...
Santa Claus 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
It's the hard-knock life for us

Steada treated,
We get tricked
Steada kisses,
We get kicked

It's the hard-knock life for us
It's the hard-knock life for us

No one cares for you a bit
When you're in an foster kid
It's the hard-knock life!
(It's the hard-knock life!)
