Maybe it's hard

We will never be never be broken and scarred
There's no way I'm turning back oh oh oh oh
Here's the situation
Got this feeling that you can't fight
Been to every nation
The city is on fire tonight
Maybe it's hard
We will never be never be broken and scarred
There's no way I'm turning back oh oh oh oh
Here's the situation
Got this feeling that you can't fight
Been to every nation
The city is on fire tonight
You wanted control
But you're a liar
And now everything is on fire
Don't underestimate things like this[...]

Take it all
Take the house
Take my car
Take the change in my pocket
I'm a superstar
We ain't stoppin'[...]

The show goes on
every night and day
The dream goes on
standing side by side
all again

I don't watch Private Practice. I didn't like Grey's Anatomy, which, every time I caught part of it, struck me as the cheesiest sort of medical soap opera, a General Hospital transplanted to prime time. Given that Private Practice is a spinoff of Grey's Anatomy, I never saw any reason whatsoever to…
