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

But it happens all the time

You wanna stay little daddy's girl

Wanna hide from the vicious world outside

But don't cry

Know the tears'll do no good

So dry your eyes

Your daddy he's the iron man

A battleship wrecked on dry land

Your mama she's a bitter bride

She'll never be satisfied,

And you know

That's not right

But don't cry

Know the tears'll do no good

So dry your eyes

They told you life is hard

It's misery from the start

It's dull and slow and painful

I tell you life is sweet

In spite of the misery

There's so much more

Be grateful

Who do you believe?

Who will you listen to

Who will it be?

It's high time that you decide

In your own mind

Tried to comfort you

Tried to tell you to be patient

They are blind

They can't see

Fortune gonna come some day

All gonna fade away

Your daddy the war machine and

Your mama the long and suffering

Prisoner of what she can not see

They told you life is hard

It's misery from the start

It's dull and slow and painful

I tell you life is sweet

In spite of the misery

There's so much more

Be grateful

Who do you believe?

Who will you listen to

Who will it be?

It's high time you decide

It's time you make up your own sweet little mind

They told you life is long

Be thankful when it's done

Don't ask for more

You should be grateful

But I tell you life is short

Be thankful because before you know

It will be over

Cause life is sweet

And life is also very short

Your life is sweet
