The Takin' Is Easy

If heaven was a place I thought I'd been there
But other times I guess I ain't so sure
If it's heaven that can fill a man with richness
Y'know I'd rather stay down here and be poor

Because the
The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
It's just the puttin' it back don't happen so fast
When you're hard up again

I'd rather feel the warmth of the sunshine
Than see the darkness of a prison cell
But the thinking of the thoughts that I been thinking
I've gone and booked myself a passage straight to hell

My God the
The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
It's just the puttin' it back don't happen so fast
When you're hard up again

No-one ever told me of the nightmares
When all you ever hear people say is
Well I thought you were a good man
But just look what you have turned into today

Sweet lord the

The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
It's just the puttin' it back don't happen so fast
When you're hard
When you're hard
When you're hard up again

I said the

The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
The takin' is easy
It's just the puttin' it back don't happen so fast
When you're hard up again

That's all
