Natalie Merchant - Life Is Sweet lyrics

It is a pity, It is a crying shame
He pulled you down again
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily...inside
It is a pity, it is a downright crime
It happens all the time
You want to stay little daddy´s girl
You want to hide from the viscous world...outside

Don´t cry, you know the tears will do no good
So dry your eyes
Your daddy, he has the iron man
Battleship wrecked on dry land
Your mamma, she has a bitter bride
She will never be satisfied
You know, & that isn´t right

But don´t cry, you know the tears will do no good
So dry your eyes
They told you life´s hard
Misery from the start, it is dull
It is slow, it is painful
But I tell you life´s sweet
In spite of the misery
Theres so much more, be grateful

Well, who do you believe
Who´ll you listen to, who´ll it be
Because it is high time that you decide
In your own mind

I have tried to comfort you
I tried to tell you to be patient
That they´re blind & they can´t see
Fortune going to c´mone day
Then all going to fade away
Your daddy the war machine
And your momma the long & suffering
Prisoner of what she cannot see

For they told you life´s hard
Misery from the start, it is dull,
It is slow, it is painful
But I tell you life´s sweet
In spite of the misery
Theres so much more, be grateful
So who´ll you believe
Who´ll you listen to
Who´ll it be
Because it is high time that you decide
It is time to make up your own
Your own state of mind

They told you life´s long
Be thankful when it is done
Don´t ask for more, be grateful
But I tell you life´s short
Be thankful, because before you know it
It´ll be over
Because life´s sweet
Life´s all so very short
Life´s sweet
And life´s all so very short
Life´s sweet
Life´s sweet
