Andy Northrup It Ain't Easy lyrics

You think it's easy, you think it's plain
Just like the frown upon my face
Implies the faggot knows his place
And it's that easy

You think it's easy, it's in the plan
To hide the truth of how you hate
I represent the reprobates
And it's that easy

But the world is changing faster than you know
I can sense your consternation as it grows
You deny the history of who I am
Taking comfort in the way that I'll be damned
To face eternity in darkness and in fear

A world in doubt, a world obscene, a world without a way to dream

But that's too easy, it's almost trite
To hide behind the will of God
A different faith, a different fraud
It's all too easy


And it ain't easy, you're too afraid
To take some ownership and try
To move beyond or compromise
Cause that ain't easy

A world in doubt, a world obscene, a world without a way to dream

You can't see what kind of monster you've become
You can't understand that love is all you've shunned
You avoid the lessons learned in days gone by
Paranoid perpetuation of the lies
About the nature of the beast you see in me

It seems so easy, it seems so plain
And though you speak of higher love
It's up to me to rise above
But it's not that easy.
