Isn't It Hard

Paul Lisney

This is about people who don’t take much responsibility for their lives and are always looking without rather than within.

Isn’t It Hard

You never thought that you would feel so bad for so long
Sitting and waiting for the sunny days
Thinking it’s everybody else and you the innocent victim
Thrown about with no mercy in the wicked waves

Now isn’t it hard
Oh isn’t it hard
And the wiser man, he just laughed and said
What did you expect?
It‘s supposed to be hard

You think the whole world owes you, entitled to all that they have
But too much was yours too early and where was the good in that?
And the obvious still eludes you, insisting it’s everyone else
How many times must you fall before you look at yourself?
