[00:11.76][00:00.59]
[00:13.52]It's hard sometimes trying to be a geezer
[00:15.86]A good bloke
[00:16.52]Five pints down the local pub
[00:18.42]Laughing at a filthy joke
[00:19.71]And sleeping around
[00:20.73]Just so that you can brag about it
[00:23.01]You've got to get the crumpet
[00:24.25]So you can blow your own trumpet
[00:26.09]And talking about football
[00:27.61]When you couldn't really give a f**k
[00:29.36]About Owen being injured
[00:31.13]And Watford's run of bad luck
[00:32.57]And cheering when a fight breaks out
[00:34.65]Even though you're feeling sick
[00:35.91]As a parrot
[00:36.78]But like a donkey to a carrot
[00:38.40]You can't help yourself
[00:39.45]Cos any sign of weakness
[00:40.71]Could be used to inflict injuries
[00:42.58]By one of your so-called friends
[00:44.11]To hide his own insecurities
[00:45.73]And nothing to look forward to
[00:47.02]But daily stress and bringing home the bacon
[00:49.10]And thinking about the other half of your wages
[00:50.93]The tax man keeps taking
[00:52.13]Staying strong emotionally
[00:53.73]When your soul is breaking
[00:55.32]And wondering when you're making love to your wife
[00:57.45]Is it real or is she faking
[00:59.01]And could it be that the most important things in life
[01:01.00]Are getting lost or missed
[01:02.83]When you're playing it safe
[01:04.00]One of the lads
[01:04.90]And scared to take a risk
[01:06.08]
[CHORUS]
[01:06.98]It's so hard It's so hard
[01:11.64]Sometimes
[01:13.38]
[01:17.74]And sometimes
[01:18.52]It's so hard It's so hard
[01:23.33]When you're scared
[01:27.83]
[01:31.85]Its hard sometimes trying to be a geezer
[01:33.65]A good lad
[01:34.64]With pressures to get on in life
[01:36.38]And turn out like your dad
[01:37.79]And getting a house, dog, kids, car
[01:39.72]The whole kit and caboodle
[01:41.37]And making out you can't cook
[01:42.76]Apart from pot noodle
[01:44.62]Treating your lady with sensitivity
[01:46.24]Without the boys finding out
[01:47.62]And keeping your feelings under wraps
[01:49.03]So she'll never know what you're about
[01:50.84]Trying to be different
[01:52.25]But the same
[01:53.99]And trying to follow the rules
[01:55.73]Of the new game
[01:57.66]Staring at the picture in the frame
[02:00.72]An easier time, smiles shine
[02:02.71]Now almost everything's changed.
[02:04.60]
[CHORUS]
[02:10.02]Well sometimes its so hard
[02:13.09]It's so hard It's so hard
[02:17.07]Yeah
[02:18.89]
[02:22.85]When you're scared to
[02:25.85]You're scared to You're scared to
[02:29.82]To take a risk
[02:33.86]
