It's Never Easy
It's never easy to give aid when you need support
It's always hard to invade from a foreign port
It's never easy to run free when you feel the slave
It's always hard to decree from a simple grave
It's never easy to stay true when you cast the slip
It's always hard to accrue from a sinking ship
It's never easy to feel well when you tap the pain
It's always hard to propel from a queasy bane
It's never easy to have lust when you see the dawn
It's always hard to adjust from an inept pawn
It's never easy to play dead when you live full bore
It's always hard to embed from a measly core
It's never easy to keep hope when you hear the news
It's always hard to elope from a boogie blues
