You walk down the street
Dare me to look
Playing the game by primitive rules
What went so wrong
That both of us care
Who wins this dispute?

It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe

You've conquered a square
Five by five feet
Won with your stare
It's fucking cement
Okay, I give up
The battle is yours
What's next, half a block?

It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe

Things have become insane
When all you'll fight for is a piece of sidewalk
Do you keep score?
Do you look back and count victories
When things start feeling hopeless?
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe

[Instrumental interlude]

It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
