It Isn't Easy Being an Angel

It isn't easy
Being an angel
Being an angel
Isn't easy
When the world turns upside down
And you tumble to the ground
They'll kick you when you're down
It isn't easy
Oh no!
You asked Johnny Thunders for a cigarette
But Johnny Thunders's packed in
And went back to bed
Even the Lord gets no mercy
But Lord have some mercy on me!
It isn't easy
(It isn't easy)
Being an angel
(Being an angel)
Being an angel
(Being an angel)
Isn't easy
(It isn't easy)
After they've screwed you around
They'll come to shut you down
You're on your own kid
But you stand your ground
It isn't easy
You're the only one that I've been dreaming of
I'm gonna give you what's left of my love
'Cause you're the kind of angel
That was made for an angel like me
But
It isn't easy
Being an angel
You stand naked in the shadow of your god
And look into his eye and say oh my lord
Did I do all I could've done?
On thy journey forth into thy kingdom come
It isn't easy
It isn't easy at all
