Life Is Sweet

It's a pity, it's a crying shame
He pulled you down again
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily insideIt's a pity, it's a downright crime
It happens all the time
You want to stay your little daddy's girl
You want to hide from a vicious world outsideDon't cry
You know the tears will do no good, so dry your eyesOh, your daddy, he's the iron man
Battleship wrecked on dry land
Your mama, she's a bitter bride, she'll never be satisfied
Do you know? And that's not rightBut don't cry
You know the tears will do no good, so dry your eyesOh, they told you life is hard, misery from the start
It's dull, it's slow, it's painful
But, I'll tell you life is sweet inspite of the misery
There's so much more to be gratefulWell, who do you believe?
Who will you listen to? Who will it be?
'Cause it's high time that you decide
In your own mindI've tried to comfort you
I've tried to tell you to be patient
They are blind
And they can't seeFortune gonna come one day, all gonna fade away
Your daddy, the war machine
And your momma, the long and suffering
Prisioner of what she cannot seeFor they told you life is hard, misery from the start
It's dull, it's slow, it's painful
But, I'll tell you life is sweet inspite of the misery
There's so much more, be gratefulSo, who will you believe?
Who will you believe? Who will it be?
Because it's high time that you decide
It's time to make up your own, your own state of mindOh, they told you that life is long, be thankful when it's done
Don't ask for more, be grateful
But, I'll tell you life is short be thankful
Because before you know it will be over'Cause life is sweet
Life is, oh, so very short, life is sweet
And life is, oh, so very short
Life is sweetAnd life is sweet
And life is sweet
