Lyrics
"LIFE HAS ITS HASSLES"
Forrest (Frosty) Lawson
© FLAWSON PUBLISHING
(VERSE 1)
You wake up in the mornin' and you're late for work,
A hundred miles of traffic-everybody's a jerk.
You're at the supermarket now what do you see,
A thousand different ways to harden arteries.
(CHORUS)
LIFE HAS ITS HASSLES (2X)
(VERSE 2)
We're almost at the end of the century,
Totally surrounded by technology.
The government computer says that I am dead,
I must have gotten up on the wrong side of bed.
(CHORUS)
LIFE HAS ITS HASSLES (4X)
(BRIDGE)
If everything was up to me, I'd do away with the misery-
All about Life (4X)
(SOLO)
(BRIDGE)
If everything was up to me, I'd do away with the misery-
(CHORUS w/Ad Libs))
LIFE HAS ITS HASSLES (REPEAT & FADE)
Talkin' 'bout LIFE LIFE LIFE LIFE LIFE LIFE LIFE!!
You said smoking does what?? I say....Uh!
I'm not gonna drink anymore-
Sex does what?? Oh my God!!
There's not enough room in this world for all this-
