Just Jack - Lesson One lyrics

It's hard sometimes trying to be a geezer A good bloke Five pints down the local pub Laughing at a filthy joke And sleeping around Just so that you can brag about it You've got to get the crumpet So you can blow your own trumpet And talking about football When you couldn't really give a fuck About Owen being injured And Watford's run of bad luck And cheering when a fight breaks out Even though you're feeling sick As a parrot But like a donkey to a carrot You can't help yourself Cos any sign of weakness Could be used to inflict injuries By one of your so-called friends To hide his own insecurities And nothing to look forward to But daily stress and bringing home the bacon And thinking about the other half of your wages The tax man keeps taking Staying strong emotionally When your soul is breaking And wondering when you're making love to your wife Is it real or is she faking And could it be that the most important things in life Are getting lost or missed When you're playing it safe One of the lads And scared to take a risk CHORUS It's so hard It's so hard Sometimes And sometimes It's so hard It's so hard When you're scared Its hard sometimes trying to be a geezer A good lad With pressures to get on in life And turn out like your dad And getting a house, dog, kids, car The whole kit and caboodle And making out you can't cook Apart from pot noodle Treating your lady with sensitivity Without the boys finding out And keeping your feelings under wraps So she'll never know what you're about Trying to be different But the same And trying to follow the rules Of the new game Staring at the picture in the frame An easier time, smiles shine Now almost everything's changed. CHORUS Well sometimes its so hard It's so hard It's so hard Yeah When you're scared to You're scared to You're scared to To take a risk To take a risk To take a risk
