Oh, Lord, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
Baby, mothers them want
The landlords them want
Mother and father of the get girl
The little I get make me fat
It is not easy
Really not easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
I work and I toil
Yet I suffer all the while
Trying to live a life on my own
I don't want to end up like Al Capone
It is not easy
Really not easy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is not easy
Oh, Lord, I can't stand it no more
Oh, Lord, look the little young generation
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
