No One Said It Was Easy lyrics

No I never got along with life
And I never had the stomach for a suicide
But I've got subtle ways to shorten my days
Do whatever it takes to get me by
No one said that this was easy
No one handed you a free pass for the ride
No said that this was easy
Keep your chin up someday maybe things will play out right
The game of life
There was a time when I believed in love
But now I know it's kid fairy tale stuff
Once upon a time for me
Like a Holy Sacrament to receive
But cancer man it sure cured my belief
No one said that this was easy
No one handed you a free pass for the ride
No said that this was easy
Keep your chin up someday maybe things will play out right
The game of life
It's like getting pulled over by the blue lights
Commit the crime so then you hear your rights
And they put you away and you wait for the day
For mercy, grace, or luck to look your way
You sit between four prison walls
And you listen to the guards walk down the halls
You were sentenced to life from the day that you were born
You'll be guilty long past the day you die
No one said that this was easy
No one handed you a free pass for the ride
No said that this was easy
Keep your chin up someday maybe things will play out right
The game of life
The game of life
