lyrics

IT'S NOT THAT EASY (Dm)

Hey kid, you think you're all that, you think you got it made,
Slide through school and college on your charm.
Get a cushy job working for your dad,
Make a lot of money, get yourself a sweet pad.
If I were you, I wouldn't be so calm.

CHORUS
It's not that easy,
It's not a walk in the park.
If you think it's that easy, you're just whistling in the dark.
There's a bunch of stuff that you're gonna have to learn
And your dad won't give you money that you're not prepared to earn.
So there's cause for concern--
It's not that easy.

Hey kid, so you've heard about sex, and now you want your share.
Find a girl or a boy and just go with the flow.
Soft music, and maybe some booze,
It's human nature, you think you can't lose,
Take it from me, there's something you ought to know--

CHORUS
It's not that easy,
It's not a walk in the park.
If you think it's that easy, you're just whistling in the dark.
You've got to care how your partners feel,
You just can't treat them as though they're not real.
So suck it up and deal
It's not that easy.

Life's got some rude surprises for you.
I've lived a while myself, and I know it's true.
You're not some golden child, whatever your mom and dad say,
And if you don't learn it now, you're gonna find out for sure some day...

Hey kid, I can see you smirk, I see you're not impressed,
Think I'm just some old fart tryin' to harsh your buzz.
Want to ignore me, well sure, go ahead,
I hope you change your mind before you end up dead,
Life'll teach you, 'cause it always does...

CHORUS
That it's not that easy.
It's not a walk in the park.
If you think it's that easy, you're just strolling into the dark.
Life is a terminal illness, you know,
It can take you down quick, it can take you down slow,
And when it does you'll know
It's not that easy.
You're given just so much time, then you die,
You can make it worthwhile if you're willing to try,
But no-one knows better than I
That it's not that easy.
It's not that easy.
It's not that easy.

Zanda Myrande is still recovering from the trauma of being Zander Nyrond for several decades. She has only come out online at this point, for reasons which may be apparent from the picture above, but she proudly embraces her trans identity while still giving house room to Zander and the rest of the deadbeats who populate her head.
