Ballad of a Hard Man

Thin Lizzy are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1969. Two of the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and bass guitarist/vocalist Phil Lynott, met while still in school. Lynott assumed the role of frontman and led them throughout their recording career of twelve studio albums. Thin Lizzy are best known for their songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott's death in 1986, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years based around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes, though Sykes left the band in 2009. more »

I've been mixed up cut up so sit down and shut up
'cause I'm a hard man
I was hung up strung out but I can't take no more junk
Even if you can

It will beat ya cheat ya
Deceit ya defeat ya

No rocker bopper show stealin' teeny bopper
Gonna get a thing from me
No fat black back scratchin' pussy cat
Gonna get her claws on me

Well they got a scheme to sell you kids
The silver screens and glossy magazines

Better hold back good times strung out hung up
Strong out picked on ripped off kicked out
Spit onset up ripped off locked up sent down
Maybe you're as hard as I am

Just blow me away
