I have a little voice in my head
More a song so soflty sung
And he's gently chiding me
He sings of raising my heart to exceed all this fear
And this doubt, he says, highlights meIn the desperate moments I long for him
Just to cease, he just sings much louder
His baleful reprieve, if I sayI will, then I will be saved, he says
That I must go hard or go hungry
These are the rules of the good times, baby
Go hard or go hungry
No other reason to live, my babyI am just wondering on, I say
I have a song, I say, of my own, I say
And as these birthdays just fall and aren't returned
I can hear him loud, 'cause he must be heardIn the desperate moments I long for him
Just to cease, he just sings much louder
His baleful reprieve, if I sayI will, then I will be saved, he says
That I must go hard or go hungry
These are the rules of the good times, baby
Go hard or go hungry
No other reason to live, my babyYou didn't bring me to the face of the world
Just to cry freedom and then return
We stand as one, with your hand on my back
I must go on
We stand as one, with your hand on my back
I must go on
My child, it's your time
Go hard or go hungry
These are the rules of the good times, baby
Go hard or go hungry
No other reason to live, my babyGo hard or go hungry
These are the reasons we live, baby
