Its a pity
Its a crying shame
Who pulled you down again?
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily inside
Its a pity
Its a downright crime
But it happens all the time
You wanna stay little daddys girl
Wanna hide from the vicious world outside
But dont cry
Know the tearsll do no good
So dry your eyes
Your daddy hes the iron man
A battleship wrecked on dry land
Your mama shes a bitter bride
Shell never be satisfied,
And you know
Thats not right
But dont cry
Know the tearsll do no good
So dry your eyes
They told you life is hard
Its misery from the start
Its dull and slow and painful
I tell you life is sweet
In spite of the misery
Theres so much more
Be grateful
Who do you believe?
Who will you listen to
Who will it be?
Its high time that you decide
In your own mind
Tried to comfort you
Tried to tell you to be patient
They are blind
They cant see
Fortune gonna come some day
All gonna fade away
Your daddy the war machine and
Your mama the long and suffering
Prisoner of what she can not see
They told you life is hard
Its misery from the start
Its dull and slow and painful
I tell you life is sweet
In spite of the misery
Theres so much more
Be grateful
Who do you believe?
Who will you listen to
Who will it be?
Its high time you decide
Its time you make up your own sweet little mind
They told you life is long
Be thankful when its done
Dont ask for more
You should be grateful
But I tell you life is short
Be thankful because before you know
It will be over
Cause life is sweet
And life is also very short
Your life is sweet
