life is hard

life ain't easy, it's a long, hard, rocky road, well it's dog, dog eat dog, and survival of the fittest, so i'm told, no matter how hard you try, life is hard and then you die, this old world is a tangle, you can't trust your closest friend, you know the devil wears a blue dress, and she's out to get you in the end, i can't count the tears i cry, life is hard and then you die, yeah, it's hard, everybody, got their own cross to bear, black or white, rich or poor, you know the blues is everywhere, just keep reaching for the sky, life is hard and then you die
