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
