no one said life is easy

phantasm777

another song about the state of society and how awful we treat each other. the song runs almost 8 and 1/2 mins. i put in more backing vox on this song than perhaps any other song i’ve done yet. thanks for the listen and any comments!

     no one said life is easy - words by frank miller 4-2-14

so many times
i’ve walked down this path
screwed up far too often
so i leanred to do the math

life is one long lesson
we learn while we play
the years go by
and so i try to live for today

no one said life was easy
no one said life is fair

give your best while living
show your heart while giving

no one is saying
you have to be a saint
i’m only saying
let good be your fate

selfishness, ignorance
won’t get you far
helpfullness, kindness
should be your par

give your heart freely
to those that you love
cause if you are greedy
it’s evil you’ve won

and that’ll just fuck up your life!

i’ve never known a hater
that had a happy life
i’ve always seen a lover
overcome his strife

i’ve learned a lot of things
life’s lessons are pretty hard
i’ve got a lot left to learn
beyond obstacles, i move forward

never laugh at the misfortunate
you’re not better than them!
if not for life’s twists and turns
they might be your best friend

if you want to hate
hate the injustice
haters are screwing the world
we need more lobe amongst us

where is the charity amongst us?
where is compassion for those in need?
how can you waste, while people starve?
how can you turn your head while people are harmed?

heartlessness
greed
murderous
obscene
compassionless
spiteful
uncharitable
hateful
