It Ain't Easy

MARQ BIRCH, PAGET KING, RIC HARRIS, ROBBI ELLINGTON

When I was a boy
I never knew much joy
I only spoke when I was told to speak
To sit up straight and be well behaved
And to eat when I was told to eat
As I grew up I got to realize in order to survive
You've got to shout real loud and fight real hard
So you can stay alive

[Chorus]
It ain't easy
Lord it ain't easy
Living in the world today
Living in the world today

When I reached my teens
I was on the scene
Going raving and getting high
And though I hated the world
But I loved my girl and for my best friend I would die
Now I am a man I get to understand
Some life philosophy
You've got to take what you get from life today
'Cause tomorrow may never be

[Chorus]

Now the years have passed
And the time is moving faster every day
I take the good with the bad
And dance with the sad
As I move along the way
Been in love nothing lost
And now I stand and watch our children play
And when they ask why does that man look so sad
I just turn to them and say

[Chorus x3]

Can't you see living ain't easy
Can't you see life ain't easy
Today today today
