It's just so hard to make things Why is it so hard to live? It's just so hard to make things Why is it so hard to live? It's just so hard to make things out Well I have a suggestion As you bark your querying Well there ain't no congestion On a dark hyperion In the night night night night night In the night night night night night No congestion Dark hyperion Why why why why Why is it so hard to live? It's just so hard to make Why is it so hard to live? It's just so hard to make things Why is it so hard to live? It's just so hard to make things out Well I'll tell you my philosophy Things must have been grand Way back in the old country In a younger land Yeah, now I can hardly wait, yeah I can hardly wait to see them rise Oh, I can hardly wait, yeah For it to materialize Oh, I can hardly wait, yeah I can hardly wait, yeah I can hardly wait to see them rise They're so hard to make out They're so hard to make out
