about

We complain about our privileged lives, failing to contrast them with those who have much less, and in who's circumstances we would not even survive.
"It ain't easy being the luckiest guy in the world".

lyrics

Luckiest Guy In the World
Denes McIntosh

It ain’t easy bein’ the luckiest guy in the world.
Bein’ free to be whatever I am.
It ain’t easy bein’ in love with all of the girls
and havin’ a woman who gives me whatever she can.

It ain’t easy livin’ in sunny suburbia
with every convenience conveniently close at hand.
And wearin’ my tennis and livin’ without any real concern
for anything more than the time for gettin’ a tan.

It ain’t easy havin’ a job like the one I got
makin’ a living doin’ whatever I want.
Starin’ at you and wearin’ suits by Eve Saint Laurent
sippin’ a soda secretly loaded with scotch.

Chorus:
Well, I’m sufferin’ through the sweet life
it’s tougher than livin’ street wise
and all the bandits wish they had it
half as bad as me.
I’m reachin’ my own objective
but keepin’ it in perspective
so I won’t one day wind up hungry
foot loose and fancy free.

It ain’t easy havin’ it easy again,
lunch with the ladies and weekends playin’ with friends.
It ain’t easy havin’ all that money to spend,
a night on the town, I’ll be checkin’ out the latest trends.

It ain’t easy keepin’ in tune with the ‘top 10’
MTV leavin’ me rockin’.
Radio blarin’, stereo tearin’ the silence down,
record collection reflectin’ every new sound.

Chorus:
