E7
Mama threw me out, the day I was born
I cried just like a baby, had to leave my happy home
You know I've been nine months, in a place so nice and serene
Now I’m blind, cold and naked and I think I got a right to scream
A7
It’s my first day out I’ve already had enough
B7 A7 E7
No one said life would be easy but no one said it’d be this tough
E7
When six months old, they threw me in the pen
I got out on good behavior but, they put me right back again
I swear now people, I swear now I’ve been framed
Not to mention I got this rash on my bottom and lord it’s inflamed
A7
They pinch me and squeeze me feed me all kinds of nasty stuff
B7 A7 E7
No one said life would be easy but no one said it’d be this tough
Listen here now...
A7
You know what I’d say if I could talk
B7 A7 E7
I’m getting out of this joint soon as I learn to walk
E7
Listen here now people, hear me when I say
I’m gonna find that doctor, who smacked me that first day
I’m gonna grab that dude, hold him upside down on his heels
And smack him on his bottom and say now you see how that feels
A7
I hit the bottle then went on to harder stuff
B7 A7 B7
No one said life would be easy but no one said it’d be this
A7 B7
No one said it’d be this
A7 B7 E7
No one said it’d be this tough
