Why Does It Have To Be So Hard?

[Verse]
She rides to the store on the bus number 4
And she frowns when she's almost there
Cause all along the way
It's just rubbish and decay
And it seems that nobody cares
She stumbles through the door
Yeah, it's just another chore
Just to get out of the pouring rain
And on the way out
People push and people shout
It's just all too much for her brain

Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard

He's driving to the store
Just to gеt a little more
Cause thе bottle keeps him warm at night
He's passing all the places
That were filled with friendly faces
But there's not a friend left in sight
He's got a trophy on the mantle
But it's more than he can handle
To remember why it meant the most
Kinder words were never spoken
And the bottle's finally open
But there's no one left for him to toast

Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard

Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard
Why can't things not be easy
Why do they have to be so hard

Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
Why do they have to be so hard
I wonder why do they have to be so
