Livin' Ain't Easy Lyrics - The Menzingers

In vibrant hues and subtle brush strokes of memory 

The life I've painted I've sold for a quick twenty 

It's on display now for the privileged and the wealthy 

God, I despise their reassuring, lying eyes 

Our home stands tall behind that foreclosure sign 

Everything in boxes from another lifetime 

Continental breakfast in the lobby 

But they're always out of coffee 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

This little motel room on I-80 west of nowhere 

Why count the stars? 

You'll never know where you are 

Somewhere light years from the world you used to know 

Like a lock that doesn't turn 

Like a plant that doesn't grow 

Long for the words with hearts and wings 

From five states over, I'm running from everything 

Continental breakfast in the lobby 

But they're always out of coffee 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

Oh you know it breaks my heart 

Watching your whole life fall apart 

While bastards dance off with the night 

As we try to break free with all our might 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

Only a fool would think living could be easy 

In vibrant hues and subtle brush strokes of memory 

The life I've painted I've sold for a quick twenty
