Timbuk 3 - Life Is Hard lyrics

Betty's in a wet T-shirt, feeling foolish and vain Looking like some housecat 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 parties with the prettiest girls in town They get paid five hundred dollars just to kick him when he's down 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 coming His heart had stopped beating, but the meter was still running Ain't no escaping when the rent comes due
