My Yesterday Was No Easy Day

Ah, another filksong.  This one is new lyrics to the general tune (but not necessarily melody) of the Kingston Trio's "All Of The Hard Days Are Gone"-- but I wrote this one for Hawaii 5-0.

The only easy day was yesterday
At least that's what Steve likes to say
But when we go for drinks, he never pays
My yesterday was no easy day

My partner drives me insane
Recklessly risk-taking, no thoughts of my pain
Getting me shot on my very first day
My yesterday was no easy day

The only easy day was yesterday
At least that's what Steve likes to say
But when we go for drinks, he never pays
My yesterday was no easy day

Using sharks as interrogation aids
And smashing down doors by lobbing grenades
Using my car for every chase
My yesterday was no easy day

The only easy day was yesterday
At least that's what Steve likes to say
But when we go for drinks, he never pays
My yesterday was no easy day

Procedure's just a joke to Steve
He thinks he can do whatever crazy shit he pleases
And just leave me to clean up his mistakes
My yesterday was no easy day

The only easy day was yesterday
At least that's what Steve likes to say
But when we go for drinks, he never pays
My yesterday was no easy day
