Diamond In The Rough Lyrics - Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes - Social Distortion

Well, I've been up, yeah, and I've been down 

Been kicked around, yeah, this God-forsaken town 

So many faults, so little time, I've got to find my peace of mind 

Peace of mind, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I was looking for something, anything at all 

Something to believe in, spraying paint on the walls 

I've made mistakes, yeah, I paid for them too 

What's a pot-boy supposed to do? 

That you sell like a diamond in the rough 

You're done, you're damaged, all you need is a little love 

Well, inside you sparkle like the stars above 

Won't be there in the morning when the going gets tough 

Yeah, yeah, yeah 

There was a time when I could not say 

I got a reason to live another day 

I just got a treasure, they all passed on by 

And I can understand the reasons why 

That you sell like a diamond in the rough 

You're done, you're damaged, all you need is a little love 

Well, inside you sparkle like the stars above 

Won't be there in the morning when the going gets tough 

That you sell like a diamond in the rough 

You're done, you're damaged, all you need is a little love 

On the inside you sparkle like the stars above 

Won't be there in the morning when the going gets tough 

Yeah, yeah, diamond in the rough 

Yeah, yeah, well, you're like the stars above 

Yeah, yeah, all you need is a little love 

Won't be there in the morning when the going gets tough 

Diamond in the rough, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Oh, like the stars above now, yeah, yeah 

All you need is a little love now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
