s hard on easy street
You buy up all the music,
but you can't find the beat
When you pay too much for candy,
it don't taste so sweet
And life gets hard on Easy Street
I said life gets hard on Easy Street
You work all day, you worry all night
Your monthly bills are getting out of sight
You say life is a gamble,
so you roll the dice
Accumulating wealth,
but you pay the price
And life gets hard on Easy Street
You buy up all the music,
but you can't find the beat
When you pay too much for candy,
it don't taste so sweet
And life gets hard on Easy Street
I said life gets hard on Easy Street
Big fine cars and great big homes,
but how you ever gonna pay back the loans?
Every day you work your
fingers down to the bones,
trying to keep up with Mr. Jones.
And life gets hard on easy street,
you buy a bottle of music
but you can't find a beat.
When you pay too much for candy,
it don't taste so sweet
And life is hard on Easy Street
I said life is hard on Easy Street
You're a double -breasted,
well -invested chairman of the board
A -hiring and a -firing
with a drop of your soul
Working every minute of a
twelve -hour day
You've never been, in the end,
you're the one who pays
And life is hard on Easy Street
You buy up all the music,
but you can't buy the beat
When you pay too much for candy,
it don't taste so sweet
And life is hard on Easy Street
I said life is hard on Easy Street
Life is hard on Easy Street
You buy up all the music
but you can't find the beat
When you pay too much for candy
it don't taste so sweet
Life is hard on Easy Street
I said life is hard on Easy Street
Life is hard on Easy Street
can buy up all the music
but you can't buy the beat
