All in all the heart is black when the dirtiest things are the best that you have
You gotta g-g-g-g-get a taste and then get far away
I was born kicking mad I had my mothers thunder in my cries
As I grow older I hope my fathers calm comes over the storm in my eyes

You had to do it the hard way, baby do me better now
There ain't no price that you won't pay, baby do me better now

I stood between the light and the dark and let the shadow take over my heart
I had to g-g-g-g-get a taste of both sides anyway
But in the shade it starts to get hard to keep telling the two apart
There's nothing harder there's, there's nothing longer than a dark day

You had to do it the hard way, baby do me better now
There ain't no price that you won't pay, baby do me better now

There ain't no price that you won't play
Man made man

I stood between the light and the dark and let he shadow come over my heart
I stood between the light and the dark
Man made man
