My life's a leap into the great absurd
I wrote it all down, then I lost the words
Smack dab in the middle of a one-way curve
Headed head-on for my life but I lost my nerve
I got a haunted house down in my soul
Where I wrestle with the demons and I dance with ghosts
Of the past and present and of the things unknown
Shadowboxing, sucker punch, baby, TKO
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
I tell you, baby, it ain't easy being me
I'm a living, breathing proof of Murphy's law
I was going to run, but I forgot how to walk
I'm the deafest, dumbest blind man I never saw
I got the heart of Jacob and the pride of Esau
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
I tell you, baby, it ain't easy being me
But I'm just talking monkey shine
Cause I'm so glad to be alive
Soulful, righteous sanctified
But it ain't easy, easy, easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
I tell you, baby, it ain't easy being me
