about

Hard Time is the first single off of Ryder's debut studio album Killer Karma.

lyrics

I'm standing in the courtroom
waiting for the judge
No point in fighting
the race is run

Don't think they'll listen
or hear my pleas
Better lock me up and
throw away the key

You can feel the tension and reach out to cut it with a knife
It takes just a few words to make a difference and change my life

Don't remember
was out of my mind
Next thing you know
I'll be doing hard time

Pinstriped shirt
the universal sign
I'm guilty as charged
and I'm doing hard time

I'm biting my nails
for the verdict to come
The jury files in
each step louder than a drum

The moments here
nowhere to turn
A real man looks in the fire
when he's gonna burn

You can feel the tension and reach out to cut it with a knife
It takes just a few words to make a difference and change my life

Don't remember
was out of my mind
Next thing you know
I'll be doing hard time

Pinstriped shirt
the universal sign
I'm guilty as charged
and I'm doing hard time

Don't remember
was out of my mind
Next thing you know
I'll be doing hard time

Pinstriped shirt
the universal sign
I'm guilty as charged
and I'm doing hard time

I don't remember
(I'll be doing hard time)
Next thing you know
(I'll be doing hard time)
I don't remember
(I'll be doing hard time)
Next thing you know
I'll be doing hard time
