I once had a friend who
Met an early end to
A kind of modern way of thinkin
He wasn't taken from us
Yeah, he's still among us
But he lives for drugs and drinkin

He liked to point the finger
His accusations linger
A deeper part of every action
He loved to play the game where
He dispersed the blame for
Every deep dissatisfaction

Easy to bitch
Easy to whine
Easy to moan
Easy to cry
Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life

Harder to work
Harder to strive
Harder to be glad to be alive
But its really worth it if you give it a try

He once told me how he
Couldn't wait to beat me
So he could take what I was telling
(He said)
They don't give a damn its
All a master plan for
Us to buy what they are selling

Easy to bitch
Easy to whine
Easy to moan
Easy to cry
Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life

Harder to work
Harder to strive
Harder to be glad to be alive
But its really worth it if you give it a try
(Come on, give it a try)

If I sound above it
I can't sit in judgement
Cause I ain't sure where I'd be sittin
These are all my problems
Lord, I tried to drop them
Cause this ain't how I should be livin

Easy to bitch
Easy to whine
Easy to moan
Easy to cry
Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life
(Life)

Hard to work
Harder to strive
Harder to be glad to be alive
But its really worth it if you give it a try
(Come on, give it a try)

Easy to bitch
Easy to whine
Easy to moan
Easy to cry
Harder to work
Harder to strive
Harder to be glad to be alive
