Give me a cigarette
But not your smoker's cough
I want to push your buttons
But I don't want to turn you on

I want to be a star
And I want to make it rain
So when I burn out
I got us to cool the pain

That's the problem with people like me
Why make it hard when you could make it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy
Why work hard when you could take it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy

Give the words of wisdom
But don't make me take the class
I want a fly out to the moon
But I don't want to pay for gas

When I stop working
You can put me in your trash
Or you can use me again
On a date that doesn't crash

That's the problem with people like me
Why make it hard when you could make it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy
Why work hard when you could take it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy

That's the problem with people like me
Why work hard when you could take it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy
That's the problem with people like me
Why make it hard when you could make it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy
Why work hard when you could take it easy
Take it easy, take take it easy
Why work hard when you could take it easy
