Work Is Easy, Life Is Hard Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Burn the island, then burn the boat
Howl into the void again
Another idiot with a brand new phone
Spit shining the halo on the head

[Chorus]
Why don't you chop my tongue out
Then put my insides inside a jar
You shake me up, you shake me down
Work's easy, but life's gettin' hard

[Verse 2]
Yeah, but that's not the point
Can I forward you a quote to explain?
I'm gonna need you all to raise your voice
But if it doesn't sound like mine, please abstain

[Chorus]
Why don't you chop my tongue out
Then put my insides inside a jar
You shake me up, you shake me down
Work's easy, but life's gеttin' hard (Life's gettin' hard)

[Post-Chorus]
You, and you don't speak for mе
You, and you don't speak for me
You, and you don't speak for me
You, and you don't speak for me

[Bridge]
You don't speak for me
You don't speak for me
You, you
You, you

[Chorus]
Why don't you chop my tongue out
Then put my insides inside a jar
You shake me up, you shake me down
Work's easy, but life's gettin' hard (Life's gettin' hard)

[Post-Chorus]
You, and you don't speak for me
You, and you don't speak for me
You, and you don't speak for me
You, and you don't speak for me

What did The Wombats say about "Work Is Easy, Life Is Hard"?

It’s hard to talk about that one. It’s definitely the most political song I’ve ever written and I don’t want to delve too deep into but it was just at a time where I felt that lockdown was making everyone fucking crazy and we were losing certain concepts that had proved very good for us as a society...

What have the artists said about the song?

This is the closest I’ve come to a truly political song. It was a time a year ago where I just felt like the world was just shitting the bed all over social media and I was trying to piece everything together and understand it. It’s got a fun, ’90s, Ian Brown-y, maybe with a bit of Smashing Pumpkins...

What have the artists said about the song?

We did it with a different producer, Paul Meany, and you’re never sure how it’s going to go in a creative sense, working with someone. He was brilliant—so much energy, so positive. It’s such a fun song to play on the drums.
