Life is Hard

Life is hard and then you get barred

From passing goal, collecting two hundred dollars

Or aget out of jail free card.

Life is hard and then you get tired

Of excuses that don't make sense

Of government officials who straddle the fence

Life is hard and there in the yard,

Your children at play

Not a care in the world, smiling those smiles

That makes the world worthwhile.

Life is hard and you promise yourself

You will make a difference someway, somehow,

You will keep the world straight, you will try to make

Things right when they go wrong.

Life is hard and always has been

There is just a different spin

On greed, excess and government waste.

Will you wait it out

Or start to shout..

I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore.

Life is hard.
