Natalie Merchant "Life Is Sweet" lyrics

Life Is Sweet

It's a pityIt's a crying shameWho pulled you down again?How painful it must beTo bruise so easily inside

It's a pityIt's a downright crimeBut it happens all the timeYou wanna stay little daddy's girlWanna hide from the vicious world outside

But don't cryKnow the tears'll do no goodSo dry your eyes

Your daddy he's the iron manA battleship wrecked on dry landYour mama she's a bitter brideShe'll never be satisfied,And you knowThat's not right

But don't cryKnow the tears'll do no goodSo dry your eyes

They told you life is hardIt's misery from the startIt's dull and slow and painful

I tell you life is sweetIn spite of the miseryThere's so much moreBe grateful

Who do you believe?Who will you listen toWho will it be?It's high time that you decideIn your own mind

Tried to comfort youTried to tell you to be patientThey are blindThey can't see

Fortune gonna come some dayAll gonna fade awayYour daddy the war machine andYour mama the long and sufferingPrisoner of what she can not see

They told you life is hardIt's misery from the startIt's dull and slow and painful

I tell you life is sweetIn spite of the miseryThere's so much moreBe grateful

Who do you believe?Who will you listen toWho will it be?

It's high time you decideIt's time you make up your own sweet little mind

They told you life is longBe thankful when it's doneDon't ask for moreYou should be grateful

But I tell you life is shortBe thankful because before you knowIt will be over

Cause life is sweetAnd life is also very shortYour life is sweet
