As Of Now
The Revivalists
Intro
Verse
As Of Now, Fourteen Are In The Ground
As Of Now, There's One More Motherless Child
As Of Now, Hate Can't Stand Up To The Sound
Of The People Who Sang And Danced In The Waters
While The Tears Came Down
In Our Time, Sorrow Walks The Streets
Late At Night, The Hearts Of Good Men And Women Weep
Underground Here In The City Of Sound
There's A Pulse, It's Faint, But Only As Of Now
Chorus
It's Hard Enough To Save Yourself
Grow Up Strong And Live It Well-Ei-Ei-El
It's Hard Enough Just To Be Good Inside
Raise A Child Of Your Own While You Take Your Time
It's Hard Enough Always Acting So Tough
When All You Wanna Do Is Just Break Down For A While
It's Hard Enough Living Waist-Deep In The Mud
It's A Hard Enough Life For Us
Verse
As Of Now, In My Neighborhood, They Say
We Won't Live In Fear, It's Never Been Our Way
As Of Now, There's A Sickness Going 'Round
But We're Not Gonna Let It Drag Us Down
Out Of Town, The Governor Cracks A Smile
Pops His Collar And Tries To Act Natural
In The Wild, There Was A Tiger On The Prowl
Who Shared The Air With A Nurse
And An Executive For A While
Bridge
As Of Now, Love And Mercy Reign Supreme
As Of Now, The Fbi's On My Street
As Of Now Hate Can't Stand Up To The Sound
Of The People Who Sang And Danced
In The Waters While The Tears Came Down
Chorus
It's Hard Enough To Save Yourself
Grow Up Strong And Live It Well-Ei-Ei-El
It's Hard Enough Just To Be Good Inside
Raise A Child Of Your Own While You Take Your Time
It's Hard Enough Always Acting So Tough
When All You Wanna Do Is Just Break Down For A While
It's Hard Enough Living Waist-Deep In The Mud
It's A Hard Enough Life For Us
Instrumental
Outro
It's Hard Enou-Ou-Ough
It's Hard Enou-Ou-Ough
It's Hard Enou-Ou-Ough
It's A Hard Enough Life For Us
