Hard to Be the Bard
Letras
My days are so busy
It's making me dizzy, there's so much I gotta do
There's lunches and meetings
And poetry readings and endless interviews
Gotta pose for a portrait
And how I deplore sitting there for eternity
Then it's off to the inn
Where my innkeeper friend wants to name a drink after me
Then it's back to my room
Where I resume my attempt to write a hit
Just me and my beer
And the terrible fear that I might be losing it
And it's hard (it's hard)
It's hard (it's hard)
It's really, really hard (it's really hard)
So very, very hard
I make it look easy but, honey, believe me
It's hard (it's hard), it's hard (it's hard)
It's so incredibly hard
So inconceivably, unbelievably hard
It's hard to be the bard
Honestly, I don't know how I do it
There's only so much of me to go around
I've got so many fans with so many demands
I can hardly go take a piss (he can't pee)
Be it theater freak or the autograph-seeker
They all want a piece of this (gimme, gimme)
It's a cross that I bear, I'm like Jesus
I swear it's a burden, but I suffer through it (he is suffering)
It's all part of the game, the trappings of fame
But somebody's gotta do it (so he does it)
And I know, I know, I gotta go
And get back to my pen and ink
Oh, don't make me do it
Don't make me go through it
Can somebody get me a drink?
'Cause it's hard (it's hard)
It's hard (it's hard)
It's really, really hard (it's really hard)
It's sexy, but it's hard
This bar that I'm raising to be this amazing!
It's hard (it's hard), it's hard (it's hard)
It's so annoyingly hard
So unavoidably, unenjoyably hard
It's hard to be the bard, baby, ugh
I know writing made me famous
But being famous is just so much more fun
You see, what people just don't understand
