Songs That Changed the World--The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era: "Easy to Be Hard" by Three Dog Night

While it's true that there are plenty of songs in the Rock Era that are nonsensical or without much content, when someone says there are no meaningful songs, point them to this music special on Inside The Rock Era, and have them listen to a few of these songs.

Another group that wrote music that matters, and Three Dog Night did some of the best songs ever written.  How can people be so heartless to not care about evil and social injustices against the poor?  They are also saying that if you are a good enough person to help right the wrongs of the world, be sure to help your friends around you also.

"Easy to Be Hard"
by Three Dog Night

Written by Galt MacDermot, James Rado, and Gerome Ragni.

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

Especially people who care about strangers
Who care about evil and social injustice
Do you only care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needy friend
We all need a friend

How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Come on, easy to be mean
Easy to say no
Easy to be cold
Easy to say no
Much too easy to say no
