It's a Hard Life (Es Una Vida Dura) es una canción realizada en 1984 como parte del disco The Works. Fue escrita por Freddie Mercury y lanzada como tercer sencillo del disco.
La canción tiene una influencia operística que caracteriza mucho a las canciones de Freddie, ya que él tenía un gran amor por la ópera, entre las cuales destaca Bohemian Rhapsody. Para Brian y Roger, esta era su canción favorita de todas las que había escrito Freddie. Su principio está basado en el desenlace de la ópera de Ruggero Leoncavallo I Pagliacci. Las partes que definen el comienzo de dicha canción es cuando Canio mata a Nedda y a Silvio y termina con su famosa frase «La commedia è finita» (La comedia se acabó) y la parte llamada «Vesti La Giubba».

Letra
I don't want my freedom
There's no reason for living with a broken heart
This is a tricky situation
I've only got myself to blame
It's just a simple fact of life
It can happen to anyone
You win - you lose
It's a chance you have to take with love
Oh yeah - I fell in love
And now you say it's over and I'm falling apart
It's a hard life
To be true lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another right from the start
When you're in love
I try and mend the broken pieces
I try to fight back the tears
They say it's just a state of mind
But it happens to everyone
How it hurts - deep inside
When your love has cut you down to size
Life is tough - on your own
Now I'm waiting for something to fall from the skies
And I'm waiting for love
Yes it's a hard life
Two lovers together
To love and live forever in each others hearts
It's a long hard fight
To learn to care for each other
To trust in one another - right from the start
When you're in love
Yes it's a hard life
In a world that's filled with sorrow
There are people searching for love in every way
It's a long hard fight
But I'll always live for tomorrow
I'll look back on myself and say I did it for love
Yes I did it for love - for love - oh I did it for love
