Johnston, Daniel - Cold Hard World Lyrics
It's a cold hard world
It's a cold hard world
It's a cold hard world
Oh no
It was on the news today
It's a cold hard world
It's a cold hard world
It's hiking across the country
Looking for a bite to eat
You'd be surprised at the animals
And the people you'd meet
Rolling down that highway
They have a caravan of cars
To bury the dead
And coke cans and pop bottles
Lined the streets like flowers instead
And this guy gave me a ride
I said this industrial waste sure stinks
He said he likes that smell
'Cause that's the smell of money
I said "well, mister money stinks, too"
I met a fireman
He said you never forget burning flesh
And the librarian said
Do you have a card here?
I said I been coming here for weeks
Don't you recognize me by now
I checked out a million books
Just to get you to notice me
Somebody's house burned down
Somebody's hubcap fell off
Somebody's soul got lost
Somebody's heart got broke
I heard Red Donley say
It was on the news today
It's a cold hard world
It's a cold hard world

Johnston, Daniel Cold Hard World Comments
He was truly great. A modern hero.
Terribly underrated song by a terribly underrated artist. This is the song that got me liking Daniel's music back around 2003. I thought it was a joke at first, but I could not stop listening.
Daniel helped me through very troubled times and i will always thank him in my soul for that
It truly is a Cold Hard World today. R.I.P. Daniel Johnston
RIP DANIEL. MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
Rest easy dan, thanks for your art thru the years 💔
Lets not leave him as only an externalized mind now (that includes firing synapse copy level because he is a Bomber Pilot's son)
Lets take him to Antarctica and keep him going, he is still kicking man people are calling quits way too early, we could easily build an exoskeleton with a satellite cellphone reading electrodes stimulating his brain (consciousness is located in 4 areas of the brain that span from forehead to top of the neck at the back of the head). At this level of external mind structuring we are at our connsciousness in our brains is really just an extra light bulb in a house. We need to act fast, this is actually cheaper than cremation and the procession to the Antarctica ship can gather other folks needing to go at $500 a person (repeat processions will be free with gratitude from donations from heart valve waiting list being flooded, so it will free burial for all).
RIP Daniel, You beautiful soul <3
The world has now become colder and harder... Rest In Peace DJ!
RIP Daniel. <3
RIP Daniel!

Writing poetry and listening to this. I've never done anything better. It gives me goosebumps.
I love the piano part in the beginning. Reminds me of Christmas bells and cold weather.

MoiDeCoentro will do man

if we were pure as daniel. maybe we would understand better and we would like even more
Daniel is about as PURE as Satan
I know the dude He is PURE Evil
But i love him so
realbeckfan da fuck???
Pienso que se refiere a las personas; el término "el mundo" refiere idiomáticamente a la población humana (no al "globo"). "Todo el mundo es tal cosa" -- nosotros también lo usamos.
i have no profit off it.
El mundo no es difícil ni frío, las personas sí.
Its really sad, I heard he last saw her in 2006 at the premier of The Devil And Daniel Johnson. DAMMIT. WE NEED TO HELP HIM.
Man you need think about the paradigm in all arts. The spontaneous expression of the feelings in the art production was the vanguard's dream. All people making art, doing art, living art, sincerity.
Well mister, money stinks too.
yep dani is the best : )
life gets colder when your getting older...
no its not, its the same world. nothing has changed except the clothes we wear.
Poetry....
