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
