Its hard, hard not to sit on your hands
And bury your head in the sand
Hard not to make other plans
And claim that youve done all you can all along
And life must go on

Its hard, hard to stand up for whats right
And bring home the bacon each night
Hard not to break down and cry
When every idea that youve tried has been wrong
But you must go on

Its hard but you know its worth the fight
'Cause you know youve got the truth on your side
When the accusations fly, hold tight
Don't be afraid of what they'll say
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
They will understand one day, one day

Its hard, hard when youre here all alone
And everyone else has gone home
Harder to know right from wrong
When all objectivities gone
And its gone
But you still carry on

'Cause you, you are the only one left
And youve got to clean up the mess
You know you'll end like the rest
Bitter and twisted, unless
You stay strong and you carry on

Its hard but you know its worth the fight
'Cause you know youve got the truth on your side
When the accusations fly, hold tight
Don't be afraid of what they'll say
Who cares what cowards think, anyway
They will understand one day, one day

날을 잘도 흘러간다. 문득 삶이 멈춘 듯 느낄 때마다 존재론적 불안이 밀려온다.

삶은, 사는 것인지, 견디는 것인지, 즐기는 것인지, 강요되는 것인지 아직도 잘 모르겠다.
닐 해넌(디바인 코미디)은 희망적인 가사를 이토록 멜랑꼴리하게 부르는 재주를 갖고 있다.
나즈막하게 그러나 잊을 수 없게 읊조리는 말. must go on. 평생 들을 노래.
