lyrics

A burglar tries to rob and invade my home
Cutting the wires of my telephone
He’s attempting to break-in and intrude
For his company I’m not in the mood

Sometimes it’s so hard
When somebody’s trying to ruin my day
Sometimes it’s so hard
When someone keeps getting in my way

Mean kids are bullying me at school
Filling the environment with ridicule
They’re lousy students with no respect
They have rotten manners and no intellect

Sometimes it’s so hard
When and ex-buddy turns from a friend to a foe
Sometimes it’s so hard
Don’t ask me why ‘cuz you should already know

-synthesizer solo-

I have a difficult and rude colleague at work
Bossing me around like he’s some kind of jerk
He doesn’t understand that’s not his job
Though he continues to act like an arrogant snob

Sometimes it’s so hard
When people in my business treat me bad
Sometimes it’s so hard
When people in my profession drive me mad

Fundamentalist Christians attend my church
They literally preach the bible chapter and verse
Religious fanatics can be dangerous people
Going insane around the chapel and steeple

Sometimes it’s so hard
When people take God’s word too seriously
Sometimes it’s so hard
When they push too much religion on me

Sometimes it’s so hard
So freakin’ hard
Sometimes it’s so hard
So dang hard
Sometimes it’s so hard
So stinkin’ hard
Sometimes it’s so hard
YEAH!
