David Bazan - Hard To Be lyrics

You've heard the story you know how it goes Once upon a garden we were lovers with no clothes Fresh from the soil we were beautiful and true In control of our emotions till we ate the poison fruit And now it's hard to be a decent human being Wait just a minute you expect me to believe That all this misbehaving grew from one enchanted tree And helpless to fight it we should all be satisfied With this magical explanation for why the living die And why it's hard to be a decent human being Childbirth is painful Toil to grow our food Ignorance made us hungry Information made us no good Every burden misunderstood I swung my ta**el to the left side of my cap Knowing after graduation there will be no going back And no congratulations from my faithful family Some of whom are already fasting to intercede for me Because it's hard to be a decent human being
