Natalie Merchant - Life Is Sweet Lyrics
Its a pity, its a crying shameHe pulled you down againHow painful it must beTo bruise so easilyInsideIts a pity, its a downright crimeIt happens all the timeYou wanna stay little daddys girlYou wanna hide from the viscous world...OutsideDont cry, you know the tears will do no goodSo dry your eyesYour daddy, hes the iron manBattle ship wrecked on dry landYour mamma, shes a bitter brideShell never be satisfiedYou know, and thats not rightBut dont cryYou know the tears will do no goodSo dry your eyesThey told you life is hardMisery from the start, its dullIts slow, its painfulBut I tell you life is sweetIn spite of the miseryTheres so much more, be gratefulWell, who do you believeWho will you listen to, who will it beBecause its high time that you decideIn your own mindIve tried to comfort youI tried to tell you to be patientThat they are blind and they cant seeFortune gonna come one dayIt all gonna fade awayYour daddy the war machineAnd your momma the long and sufferingPrisoner of what she can not seeFor they told you life is hardMisery from the start, its dull,Its slow, its painfulBut I tell you life is sweetIn spite of the miseryTheres so much more, be gratefulSo who will you believeWho will you listen toWho will it beBecause its high time that you decideIts time to make up your ownYour own state of mindThey told you life is longBe thankful when its doneDont ask for more, be gratefulBut I tell you life is shortBe thankful, because before you know itIt will be overBecause life is sweetLife is all so very shortLife is sweetAnd life is all so very shortLife is sweetLife is sweet
