Lyrics
:

Oh I was born
Deep in the heartland
Where a man is judged
By the scars on his face
Where that sliding scale still operates
I was born, raised in the way of the

HARDLANDS
Ripped and torn apart
HARDLANDS
I�m carrying the scars
HARDLANDS
Hard, hard, hard, hardlands

I hear a song �Land of hope and glory�
I see a man 
Weeping for what is long gone
See a woman begging on the street
I hear a voice
Where did we go wrong in the 

HARDLANDS
Ripped and torn apart
HARDLANDS
I�m carrying the scars
HARDLANDS
Hard, hard, hard, hardlands

I feel afraid
When I think about my children
I feel scared
When I walk down a street at night
Feel sad when I look on the flag
I feel anger
When I think what have been done to my

HARDLANDS
Ripped and torn apart
HARDLANDS
I�m carrying the scars
HARDLANDS
Hard, hard, hard, hardlands

See a flag burning in a battlefield
See a mother crying for her son
I see a father knocking off the dust of the

HARDLANDS
Ripped and torn apart
HARDLANDS
I�m carrying the scars
HARDLANDS
Hard, hard, hard, hardlands
HARDLANDS
Ripped and torn apart
HARDLANDS
I�m carrying the scars
HARDLANDS
Hard, hard, hard, hardlands

Hard, hard, hard, hardlands
Hard, hard, hard, hardlands
