It Seemed So Easy Then

It seemed so easy then
Make your back to bend
There is work to be done
A good life is there to be won

But that is not true in this world
There is more strife to be held
And others who will bring you down
You’re from the wrong side of town

So forget who you are 
And go for it be a star
For when the world gets tough 
It’s you and that’s gotta be enough.
