Life Is Sweet lyrics |
|
It's a pity, It's a crying shame |
|
He pulled you down again |
|
How painful it must be |
|
To bruise so easily |
|
Inside |
|
It's a pity, it's a downright crime |
|
It happens all the time |
|
You wanna stay little daddy's girl |
|
You wanna hide from the viscous world... |
|
Outside |
|
Don't cry, you know the tears will do no good |
|
So dry your eyes |
|
Your daddy, he's the iron man |
|
Battle ship wrecked on dry land |
|
Your mamma, she's a bitter bride |
|
She'll never be satisfied |
|
You know, and that's not right |
|
But don't cry |
|
You know the tears will do no good |
|
So dry your eyes |
|
They told you life is hard |
|
Misery from the start, it's dull |
|
It's slow, it's painful |
|
But I tell you life is sweet |
|
In spite of the misery |
|
There's so much more, be grateful |
|
Well, who do you believe |
|
Who will you listen to, who will it be |
|
Because it's high time that you decide |
|
In your own mind |
|
I've tried to comfort you |
|
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/n/natalie-merchant-lyrics/life-is-sweet-lyrics.html ] |
|
I tried to tell you to be patient |
|
That they are blind and they can't see |
|
Fortune gonna come one day |
|
It all gonna fade away |
|
Your daddy the war machine |
|
And your momma the long and suffering |
|
Prisoner of what she can not see |
|
For they told you life is hard |
|
Misery from the start, it's dull, |
|
It's slow, it's painful |
|
But I tell you life is sweet |
|
In spite of the misery |
|
There's so much more, be grateful |
|
So who will you believe |
|
Who will you listen to |
|
Who will it be |
|
Because it's high time that you decide |
|
It's time to make up your own |
|
Your own state of mind |
|
They told you life is long |
|
Be thankful when it's done |
|
Don't ask for more, be grateful |
|
But I tell you life is short |
|
Be thankful, because before you know it |
|
It will be over |
|
Because life is sweet |
|
Life is all so very short |
|
Life is sweet |
|
And life is all so very short |
|
Life is sweet |
|
Life is sweet |
