Living ain't easy
When you're trying to tow the line
This old world wants to leave you behind
Everything that was wrong
They've done and gone made right
And you can't say a word without looking for a fight
Well, I guess I'm looking for a fight
They say, "Son, won't you try to get along?
There's no need in you living in the past"
But you can't walk the street in the broad daylight
You can't say a word without looking for a fight
Not a single word without a fight
Well, I guess I'm looking for a fight
That's right
Hey, Mr. banker, would you give me a loan?
They want to come and take away my home
I lost my job, and I got kids to feed
Have some mercy on me if you please?
'Cause these politicians don't know what it's like
To live a normal man's working life
Just trying to keep my head above the waves
It's getting harder for me every day
It's getting harder for me every day
