It's a pity
It's a cryin' 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
It happens
All the time
You want to stay
Little daddy's girl
You want to hide
From the vicious
World outside
Don't cry
You know the tears
Will do no good
So dry your eyes
Oh your daddy
He's the iron man
Battleship wrecked
On dry land
Your mamma she's
A bitter bride
She'll never
Be satisfied
You know
And that's
Not right
But don't cry
You know the tears
Will 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
They can't see
Fortune gonna
Come one day
They're all gonna
Fade away
Your daddy
The war machine
And your momma
The long
And suffering
Prisoner of what
She cannot 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
That you decide
It's time to
Make up your own
Your own
State of 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
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...
