lyrics

LIFE IS A BITCH (AND THEN WE ALL DIE)

WHEN I WAS A KID I NEVER FELT ALONE
I COULD MAKE A FRIEND OVER AN ICE CREAM CONE
CALLING UP A GIRL ON THE TELEPHONE
TRYING TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION
IT WASN’T VERY LONG BEFORE I HAD ME A CAR
A LEVI’S JACKET AND A CHEAP GUITAR
PLAYED FOR ALL THE TIPS YOU COULD FIT IN A JAR
IT GOT ME THROUGH THE GREAT RECESSION

(CHORUS)
LIFE IS A BITCH AND THEN WE ALL DIE
WE DON’T KNOW WHEN AND WE DON’T KNOW WHY
SOMETIMES YOU LAUGH AND SOMETIMES YOU CRY
SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO RUN
YOU START OUT YOUNG BUT THEN YOU GET OLD
SO PLACE YOUR BETS AND SHOW ‘EM OR FOLD
THE DAYS ARE GETTING SHORT AND THE NIGHTS ARE COLD
SO WE BETTER START HAVING SOME FUN

I ENTERED INTO COLLEGE LIKE A NEWBORN CHILD
I THREW A LITTE PARTY BUT IT GOT REAL WILD
GOT SOME CHARGES DROPPED THE REST WERE FILED
THEY PUT ME ON COMMUNITY PROBATION
HOW I GRADUATED I STILL DON’T KNOW
BUT I GOT A LOT OF LOANS THAT I STILL OWE
I GOT ME A JOB AND EVERY DAY I GO
INTO MY MODULAR WORK STATION
(CHORUS)

MAYBE SOME DAY I’M GONNA UP AND RETIRE
DO ANY LITTLE THING THAT’S MY HEART’S DESIRE
MAYBE PLAY GUITAR AROUND THE OLD CAMPFIRE
MAYBE GO SENILE INSTEAD
IF I LIVE TO BE A HUNDRED AND I CAN STILL SEE
I WANT TO WALK AROUND ENJOYING THE SCENERY
WANT TO BE WITH SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO BE WITH ME
OTHERWISE I’D RATHER BE DEAD
(CHORUS)
