lyrics

Hit Hard, Aim Low

You got along with the women
You got along with the men
You got along with the animals
The minerals, the activists, the criminals
The kids who daily drove you round the bend
But you made a New Year’s resolution
To protect your interests and your pride
You always hoped for revolution
It’s just shame you were always useless in a fight

When you hit you gotta hit hard, you gotta aim low
You gotta hit hard, you gotta aim low

You got along with marijuana
You got along with the cops
You got along with simple country folk
The city grime, the Marxists and the philistines
You always hoped that someday that you’d have to go and get a revolution
When you could kick them where it hurts
A small victory, but satisfying
In the knowledge that you got in first

You gotta hit hard, you gotta aim low
You gotta hit hard, you gotta aim low

You got along with the mentally ill
You got along with the terminally thrilled
You got along with the erratic fanatics of amateur dramatics
There used to be a time when you’d think twice before you panicked
But that was then, this is now
And you’ve only gone and found
You’re not afraid to say what’s been on your little brain
So hit ‘em hard, hit ‘em low
Hit ‘em somewhere down below
But hit ‘em in the face and it’s easy not to get the message

So hit hit hard, aim aim low
You gotta hit hit hard, aim, aim low
You gotta hit hard, you gotta aim low
You gotta hit hard, you gotta aim low
Hit hard, aim low
You gotta hit hard
