Lyrics for Nobody Hurts You

I try to pull my weight, study my geography It doesn't seem to get me anywhere I hold a picture up, everybody pictures me I get a thrill out of tempering the atmosphere Hey baby, I'm out of favour You can't always be the right flavour It just seems that no matter what you do Someone, somewhere, is gonna punish you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself I once had respect, woke up with the daily news And it looked like forever I had a coffee fix, every item there to choose All our love came by letter Suffocating in suburbia The new estates build claustrophobia Playing palmer's prairie loaded on a fatter stack That's the nerve, that's the nerve, that's the nerve Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself You make me tag along, running to the wretched crowd But they're just imitation I try to write the song, you and me, laughing loud But it comes out frustration Look, no-one's going to illuminate you All the odds are stacked against you You just caved it in right there in front of me It's a picture I don't ever wanna see Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you Nobody hurts you harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself Harder than yourself
