HARD SONG

They were perfect days
It used to go her way hey hey
She had a perfect world
A forever holiday
She had her daddy’s money
But it couldn’t save her anyway
She hasn’t recognized him since her 17th birthday

But we really shouldn’t talk about her now
Cuz she went wrong
They say it’s from that stuff she blew
And everything that’s happening to her is
A nursery song
And it might get stuck in your head too

Uh-oh, here she comes again
Such a hard song
To have to hear again
She’s like a ghetto blaster playin her own top ten
Uh-oh, don’t let her in your head

She still has looks to spare with her Farrah hair, hey hey
Without a shopping cart
She doesn’t look the part of a crazy lady
Now she’s trippin down main street
In her own parade
Got her own radio show
And her favourites play all day

But she doesn’t know you’re talkin to her now
Cuz she went wrong
She thinks that God makes mistakes too
And everything she’s singing to her is
A nursery song
And it might get stuck in your head too

Uh-oh, here she comes again
Such a hard song
To have to hear again
She’s like a ghetto blaster playin her own top ten
Uh-oh, don’t let her in your head

We really shouldn’t talk about her now
Cuz she went wrong
She thinks that God makes mistakes too
And everything she’s singing to her is
A nursery song
And it might get stuck in your head too

Uh-oh, here she comes again
Such a hard song
To have to hear again
She’s like a ghetto blaster playin her own top ten
Uh-oh, don’t let her in your head
