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
