There's no hope for the living, there's no use for the dead
So you better stop believing, make the best of what you get
Now if you play by simple rules and don't hurt nobody else
Well I don't see how any fool could make some of himself
If you got a better plan make sure you let me know
But I'm living in the here and now and I got somewhere to go
I got somewhere to go
It ain't hard living easy, it ain't easy to go straight
And you wanna go back to when you were breezing
And living easy, but you can't get away
Oh and it's hard, but you gotta stay
Well you gotta make a living, you gotta make a buck
And you can make it big time if you get a piece of luck
Now I wanna be a millionaire I wanna be a bum
I wanna be what I become when I get where I belong
And if you know a shortcut make sure you let me know
Cause I'm heading for a better life and I got some way to go
I got some way to go
It ain't hard living easy, it ain't easy to go straight
And you wanna go back to when you were breezing
And living easy, Oh but you can't get away no no
And it's hard, but you gotta stay, hey hey
Well you can whine and you can whimper
Feeling for your sorry ass
But good or bad luck, love or loss, hell, nothing's gonna last
And if I think of something else you'd be the first to know
But I'm heading for a better life and it's time I gotta go
It's time I gotta go
It ain't hard living easy, it ain't easy to go straight
And you wanna go back to when you were breezing
And living easy, but you can't get away, no
And it's hard, but you gotta stay
It ain't hard living easy, (you gotta live easy) it ain't easy to go straight
And you wanna go back to when you were breezing
And living easy, oh, but you can't get away
And it's hard, but you gotta stay
Hey, you ain't going nowhere
