Don't Come Easy

Portrait of a real American boy

He keeps his insecurities at bay

The King of Belle Vernon P.A

He's got a car his friends and him take up to the lake

To narrowly escape this town's like glue they say

Cause once you're here you stay

The portrait of a real American boy

And it don't come easy

You're just working as hard as you can

But you'll never know if you don't let go

Of you to find your own identity, identity

The boy became a real American man

The product of a past that makes him mad

And now he's turned into his dad

He still works at the gas station doing tune-ups

"Man I think I had a shot," he'd say

"if only I could only catch a break"

The portrait of a real American boy

And it don't come easy

You're just working as hard as you can

But you'll never know if you don't let go

Of you to find your own identity

And it don't come easy

You're just working as hard as you can

But you'll never know if you don't let go

Of you to find your own identity, identity

What's all this for?

What are we ever working towards?

The jobs and lovers always came and went

The story of his life is etched into a vinyl

And on both sides he hears his famous friends

And now it all makes sense yeah, yeah, yeah

And it don't come easy

You're just working as hard as you can

But you'll never know if you don't let go

Of you to find your own identity

It don't come easy

You're just working as hard as you can

But you'll never know if you don't let go

Of you to find your own identity, identity
