Life Is Sweet

It's a pity, it's a crying shame

Who 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 vicious world outside

Don't cry

You know the tears'll do no good, so dry your eyes

Oh, your daddy, he's the iron man

Battleship wrecked on dry land

Your mama, she's a bitter bride

She'll never be satisfied

You know, and that's not right

But don't cry

Know the tears'll do no good, so dry your eyes

Oh, 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?

'Cause it's high time that you decide

In your own mind

I've tried to comfort you

I've tried to tell you to be patient

They are blind and they can't see

Fortune gonna come one day

All gonna fade away

Your daddy, the war machine

And your mama, the long and suffering

Prisoner of what she cannot 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?

'Cause it's high time that you decide

It's time to make up your own, your own sweet little mind

Oh, 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

'Cause life is sweet

Life is also very short

Life is sweet

And life is also fairly short

Life is sweet

And life is sweet
