Timbuk3 - Life Is Hard lyrics

Betty's in a wet T-shirt, feeling foolish and vain Looking like some house cat that got caught out in the rain Staring into the mirror at this less-than-pretty picture Feeling ten years older now, and fifty bucks richer Life is hard Can't buy happiness no matter what you do Can't get to heaven on roller skates Can't take a taxi cab to Timbuktu Paul was a poor little rich boy, he never had to cry Whenever he complained of aches and pains, the doctors would drop by Now he goes to parlors with the prettiest girls in town Get paid five hundred dollars just to kick him when he's down Life is hard Can't buy happiness no matter what you do Can't get to heaven on roller skates Can't take a taxi cab to Timbuktu Life is hard Life is hard Life is hard Can't buy happiness no matter what you do Can't get to heaven on roller skates Can't take a taxi cab to Timbuktu After he stiffed a waitress, and ran out on his tab Big Mac had a heart attack in the back of a yellow cab By the time the sound of the siren said the ambulance was comin' His heart had stopped beatin', but the meter was still runnin' Life is hard Can't buy happiness no matter what you do Can't get to heaven on roller skates Can't take a taxi cab to Timbuktu Life is hard Life is hard Life is hard Ain't no escaping when the rent comes due Can't get to heaven on roller skates Can't take a taxi cab to Timbuktu
