No One Said It Was Easy

No I never got along with life
And I never had the stomach for a suicide
But I’ve got subtle ways to shorten my days
Do whatever it takes to get me by

No one said that this was easy
No one handed you a free pass for the ride
No said that this was easy
Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right
In the game of life

There was a time when I believed in love
But now I know it’s kid fairy tale stuff
Once upon a time for me
Like a Holy Sacrament to receive
But cancer man it sure cured my belief

No one said that this was easy
No one handed you a free pass for the ride
No said that this was easy
Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right
In the game of life

It’s like getting pulled over by the blue lights
Commit the crime so then you hear your rights
And they put you away and you wait for the day;
For mercy, grace, or luck to look your way

You sit between four prison walls
And you listen to the guards walk down the halls
You were sentenced to life from the day that you were born
You’ll be guilty long past the day you die

No one said that this was easy
No one handed you a free pass for the ride
No said that this was easy
Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right
In the game of life
