Life Is Sweet

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

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
