It Ain’t Easy

Yeah, yeah

I remember when I was told
"Son, you don't fit the mold
You're never gonna make it
You gotta be willin' to compromise
And that's my advice
I hope you're gonna take it"

What do you drive?
What clothes do you wear?
You just gotta do somethin'
With the style of your hair

It ain't easy to please everybody
It ain't easy just to be yourself
What they won't do to make you somebody
It ain't easy to be you
When they think you should be someone elsе

There's always someonе better than you
Gonna tell you what to do
Makin' your decisions
You're just a face without a name
No choice but to play the game
Brother, don't you listen

Don't bow to the pressure
For relief it may bring
When your back's to the wall
Just remember one thing

It ain't easy to please everybody
It ain't easy just to be yourself
What they won't do to make you somebody
It ain't easy to be you
When they think you should be someone else

What car do you drive?
What kind of clothes do you wear?
Man, you gotta do somethin' with the style of your hair
Go tell your story, don't leave out a thing
Read all about it in a checkout magazine

It ain't easy to please everybody
It ain't easy just to be yourself
What they won't do to make you somebody
It ain't easy to be you
When they think you should be someone else

It ain't easy to please everybody
It ain't easy to win every time
Anything goes if it makes them some money
It ain't easy to make everyone smile

It ain't easy
It ain't easy
Just to be yourself
It ain't easy

Yeah, yeah
