| You’re never gonna make it
|
| You gotta be willin' to compromise
|

|
| I hope you’re gonna take it»
|
| What do you drive?
|
| What clothes do you wear?
|
| You just gotta do somethin'
|
| With the style of your hair
|
| It ain’t easy to please everybody
|
| It ain’t easy just to be yourself
|
| What they won’t do to make you somebody
|
| It ain’t easy to be you
|
| When they think you should be someone els
|
| There’s always someon better than you
|
| Gonna tell you what to do
|
| Makin' your decisions
|
| You’re just a face without a name
|
| No choice but to play the game
|
| Brother, don’t you listen
|
| Don’t bow to the pressure
|
| For relief it may bring
|
| When your back’s to the wall
|
| Just remember one thing
|
| It ain’t easy to please everybody
|
