Life is nasty, brutish, and short
It gives you no breaks, forgive no mistakes
It's time you got wise, opened your eyes
And dealt with the world as it is
Harsh realities
It's time to stop living this life of illusion
Ignoring life's problems creates no solutions
Our leaders have lied, there's nowhere to hide
We've lived past our means and now the bills must be paid
And we're the ones who pay!
Life is nasty, brutish and short
It gives you no breaks, forgive no mistakes
It's time you got wise, opened your eyes
And dealt with the world as it is
Harsh realities
