Everyone told me life was hard but it's a piece of cake All you have to do is bend yourself until you break Compartmentalize yourself for someone else's sake And they call it compromise, the bitter give and take They don't teach college classes on shrinking yourself down But if they did I'd look so small in my cap and gown I think I would disappear before I left this town Just another fleck of dirt that blends into the ground

It's a Piece of Cake
Everyone told me life was hard but it's a piece of cake All you have to do is bend yourself until you break Compartmentalize yourself for someone else's sake And they call it compromise, the bitter give and take They don't teach college classes on shrinking yourself down But if they did I'd look so small in my cap and gown I think I would disappear before I left this town Just another fleck of dirt that blends into the ground
