When Life Gets Tough

It's all right to complain, there's no need to refrain
When life gets tough
If you're in a hole let everybody know
That your life is tough
You can call up your friends
Tell them what a rough lot you've had
Blame it on your mama, blame it on your dad
Nothin’ feels finer than to be a loathsome whiner
When your life gets tough

If you make a mistake just blame it on Jake
When your life gets tough
Or blame it on Bob or blame it on Joe
When your life gets tough
You can blame it on the black guys, blame it on the Jews
You can blame anyone that you choose
‘Cause nothin’ feels finer than to be a loathsome whiner
When your life gets tough

You know those days when you feel like a fool
When your life gets tough
There ought to be a law against people feelin’ better than you
When your life gets tough
You can always slash a tire, spread a vicious lie
If you get caught just tell them why
That nothin’ feels finer than to be a loathsome whiner
When your life gets tough

This is America and you can always sue
When your life gets tough
You can sue anyone for anything you want to
When your life gets tough

You can sue for bad haircuts, you can sue for stress
Sue your parents ‘cause your life is a mess
‘Cause nothin’ feels finer than to be a loathsome whiner
When your life gets tough
Nothing feels finer than to be a loathsome whiner
When your life gets tough
