lyrics

It's a hard card to play
Break of day
Stayin' awake
Got up late
Find a date
Clean your plate
The hand of fate
It's a hard card to play

It's a hard card to play
Lookin' for thrills
All kinds of pills
Pay the bills
Learn a skill
Cure the ills
Cross on the hill
It's a hard card to play

CHORUS:
If you can't find me tomorrow
Tell you where I'll be
Holed up in a card game
Just life, death and me

It's a hard card to play
Go to school
Don't be fooled
Learn what's cool
The Golden Rule
Work like a mule
It seems so cruel
It's a hard card to play

It's a hard card to play
Shun the drugs
Kill the bugs
Tighten the lugs
Stand up t' the thugs
Find a love
And all that stuff
It's a hard card to play

CHORUS
