| Song | No One Said It Was Easy |
| Artist | John Ralston |
| Album | Needle Bed |
| No I never got along with life. | |
| And I never had the stomach for a suicide. | |
| But I’ve got subtle ways to shorten my days. | |
| Do whatever it takes to get me by. | |
| No one said that this was easy. | |
| No one handed you a free pass for the ride. | |
| No said that this was easy. | |
| Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right | |
| In the game of life. | |
| There was a time when I believed in love. | |
| But now I know it’s kid fairy tale stuff. | |
| Once upon a time for me. | |
| Like a Holy Sacrament to receive. | |
| But cancer man it sure cured my belief. | |
| No one said that this was easy. | |
| No one handed you a free pass for the ride. | |
| No said that this was easy. | |
| Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right | |
| In the game of life. | |
| It’s like getting pulled over by the blue lights. | |
| Commit the crime so then you hear your rights. | |
| And they put you away and you wait for the day; | |
| For mercy, grace, or luck to look your way. | |
| You sit between four prison walls | |
| And you listen to the guards walk down the halls. | |
| You were sentenced to life from the day that you were born. | |
| You’ll be guilty long past the day you die. | |
| No one said that this was easy. | |
| No one handed you a free pass for the ride. | |
| No said that this was easy. | |
| Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right | |
| In the game of life |
