Harder All The Time Lyrics

They say you've got to be what you want to be

You can't choose wrong, they'll make you scale a tree

Well I drink my straight tequila with a little salt and lime

It's getting harder all the time

Now I just can't seem to look at you

Without seeing me in everything you do

Watching phrases pass in silence through this coral reef of mine

It's getting harder all the time

It's getting harder to be brazen in these military days

Turning slowly into statues with their military gaze

It's getting harder to evacuate this rat-infested maze

It's getting harder now these days

Are you allowed to dream in a peaceful stream

Without crossing paths with a laser beam

Is there a tapestry of poems beneath this cortex full of rhyme

It's getting harder all the time

If you held a war without keeping score

Of the young men slain on a foreign shore

Would it seem like senseless killing or a sickly heinous crime

It's getting harder all the time

It's getting harder to be brazen in these military days

Turning slowly into statues with their military gaze

It's getting harder to evacuate this rat-infested maze

It's getting harder now these days

So watch the night descend into rules that bend

On the side of God to justify the end

Quoting passages from ancient books once discovered beneath the slime

It's getting harder all the time

Now I just can't seem to look at you

Without seeing me in everything you do

Well I drink my straight tequila with a little salt and lime

It's getting harder all the time
