Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

Like Comedy

You were built to last a lifetime

Just not the life that you live.

You don't have to make it worse

'Cause the world isn't perfect

And you don't need to give a toss

But you'd make it better if you did.

You did, you did, you did.

You were made to be loving,

Not a source of bitterness and hate.

And when you turn them on yourself

You make one more useless martyr.

Make the best of here and now

Heaven or hell can wait,

They'll wait, they'll wait, let them wait.

When you lose your appetite for self-destruction

You can stop viewing life as tragedy.

Give it a few more years and look from this angle,

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy.

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy.

Oh, you were made to be happy,

Not mired in sorrow and regret.

Misery comes around enough

You don't need to invite him.

And when he leaves you should grab

All the joy you can get.

You can get, you can get, you can get.

When you lose your appetite for self-destruction

You can stop viewing life as tragedy.

Give it a few more years and look from this angle

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy.

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy.

Like comedy.

Like comedy.

Like comedy.
