That's Life


 What is this thing called life?

Plenty of fun and lots of strife.
Did you ever think it'd be this hard?

Life fucks you up and leaves you scarred.

 

It's not as bad as you think it is,
There's so much more to it.
Just when you think you've passed life's quiz,
You fall into a morals pit.
Ain't that some shit??

 

It really isn't as bad as it sounds...
Because you know of its ups and downs.
One day, you're out of bounds,
The next, you're making the rounds,
like everything's okay.
That's when you need to pray,
For someone to come save the day!

 

But you wonder about them too,
Do they really have a clue?
You want them to rescue you...
but they're wearing two different shoes!!

 

Well, that's not going to work, you think!
You just relied on someone on the brink, of being crazy…
Or completely lazy!
Either way, it looks a little hazy.

 

We'd like to think we had our shit together
But we can't even predict the weather!
So why would we think that way?
We don’t even know what to say, half the time.

Is that a crime?

 

What the HELL were we thinking?
Maybe we should continue drinking,
Or talk a little more about it...
Better yet...who really gives a shit!?

 

You're going to do what you're going to die,
No one’s going to stop you.
It's something we all go through.
So just get it over with...
Life isn't some big, crazy myth!

 

It's real!
It's how you feel!
And how you deal.

So, deal with it...

Give it all you’ve got, and never quit
