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 I see a land standing at the crossroads 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
