This Life

Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain

I just thought it didn't rain in California

Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was

'Cause I've never known a love like this before, oh, yeah

Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes

I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer

There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand

We're surviving, we're still living, are we stronger?

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

You've been cheating on, cheating on me

I've been cheating on, cheating on you

You've been cheating on me

But I've been cheating through this life

And all its suffering

Oh, Christ

Am I good for nothing?

Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate

I just thought we'd lock the gate when we left in the morning

When I was told that war is how we landed on these shores

I just thought the drums of war beat louder warnings

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

You've been cheating on, cheating on me

I've been cheating on, cheating on you

You've been cheating on me

But I've been cheating through this life

And all its suffering

Oh, Christ

Am I good for nothing?

Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet

'Cause I don't remember living life before this

And, darling, our disease is the same one as the trees

Unaware that they've been living in a forest

You've been cheating on, cheating on me

I've been cheating on, cheating on you

You've been cheating on me

But I've been cheating through this life

And all its suffering

Oh, Christ

Am I good for nothing?

This life

And all its suffering

Oh, Christ

Am I good for nothing?
