lyrics

They told me to
Get a good job when you leave school
Whether or not you wanted to
But it's a small price to make a good living
Drive to work in your nice car
It might take a while but it isn't far
And it's a small price to make a good living

But I leave my soul on the freeway
Ignore that voice that seems to say it's

Too tough for easy money, it's
To hard for an easy life
Am I gonna find what I'm looking for?
Too tough for easy money, it's
Too much for easy ride
All that I can find, it's
Too tough for easy money

They told me to
Buy a nice house make your mama proud
On Saturdays get the neighbours round
And talk about, good living
The early mornings for that extra dime
Late nights coz you need the overtime
But it's a small price to make a good livin

After a while I'm feeling rough
When will it be enough?

Too tough for easy money, it's
To hard for an easy life
Am I gonna find what I'm looking for?
Too tough for easy money, it's
Too much for easy ride
All that I can find

I wanna see the Sahara
I wanna sail the red sea
Fly like a bird and be free

Coz there ain't no for easy money, there
Ain't no an easy life
That not what I'm looking for
There ain't no easy money, there
Ain't no easy ride
Not gonna waste my life
For the price of easy money

Easy money
I wanna live
It's too tough for easy money
