It's the Hard Knock Life (From "Annie") - The Academy Allstars

It’s a hard-knock life for us!

It’s a hard-knock life for us!

'Stead of treated,

We get tricked!

'Stead of kisses,

We get kicked!

It’s a hard-knock life!

Got no folks to speak of, so,

It’s the hard-knock row we ho

Cotton blanket

'stead a wool

Empty Bellies

'Stead a full!

It’s a 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 putting up a fight.

No one’s there when your dreams at night are creepy!

No one cares if you grow or if you shrink!

No one dries when your eyes get wet and weepy

From the crying you would think this place’s would sink!

Ohhhh!!!

Empty belly life!

Rotten smelly life!

Full of sorrow life!

No tomorrow life!

Santa Claus we never see

Santa Claus, what’s that?

Who’s he?

No one cares for you a smidge

When you’re in a orphanage

It’s the hard knock life
