Life is hard anyway you cut it

Life is sweet, like a berry from a tree

Life is temptation, Baby, every single day

Life is hard



Life is funny, I don't mean ha-ha

It's not always sunny, when it needs to be

Life is frightening, nothing lasts forever

Life is hard



My time

Is next to nothin

My time

Falls on you, yeah

Everything

Is in motion

Life is hard



Life is precious, no matter how you see it

Life is crazy, like yellow fishes in the street

Life is lonely when you're not with me

Life is hard



Gentlemen

Is that you story?

hanging religion from a tree, yeah

My time is next to nothing

Life is hard



My time

Is next to nothing

My time

Falls on you, yeah

Everything

Is in motion

Life is hard



My time

falls on you, yeah

Life is hard

Life is hard
