Life Is Sweet (LP Version)

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
You wanna hide from the vicious world outside

Don't cry
Know the tears'll do no good
So dry your eyes

Oh, 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
You know, ansd 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 can not 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 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 will be over

'Cause life is sweet
Life is also very short
Life is sweet
And life is also very short
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
