Ozone disappearing in the sky,
Bud-man asking us, "Why ask why'"
If I could find my magazine this bug would die - I complain, yeah,
China boy standing up to a tank,
Southern boy living in the house of yank,
And I can't seem to get my motorbike to crank - I complain.

Complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier, easier.

Small kid begging for a crumb of bread,
Next kid bloated, lying nearly dead,
I wonder what to take for my aching head - I complain,
Lots of people crying for a little rain,
Whole nation learning how to live with pain,
I don't know how I'm gonna clean this little stain - I complain.

Complain - so much easier,
I complain - so much easier,
I complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier,
I complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier,
Complain, complain.

Black man singing Mississippi blues,
Africa starves, little babies drool,
I'm trying to figure out all the basketball rules - I complain,
Mr. Rush Limbaugh giving me the facts,
Treetops falling and the newsman yaks,
I'm thinking about Carter, and how I'm gonna be taxed, hey.

Complain - so much easier,
I complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier,
I complain - so much easier,
Complain - so much easier,
Complain, complain.
