world of difference
world so out of touch
Overwhelmed by everything
But wanting more so much.

Call it blind [bad word] Call it blind mans bluff
Call each other names
Your [bad word]  your voices rough.

Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the lessons

Then you learn the lesson
That it's cool to be so tough.

Reverse the [bad word] Then you learn the lesson 
That it's tough to be so cool.

Handle with kid gloves

And the ways of hard knock school
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson 
That it's tough to be so cool.

Anger got bare knuckles
Anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns
Reverse the [bad word] 
Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the weapons
And the ways of hard knock school
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson 
That it's tough to be so cool, so [bad word]
