It's The Hard-Knock Life

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)
