JUST JACK lyrics : "Lesson One"

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 $#&@
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
