Life can get...
Life can get pretty...
Life can get...
Life can get pretty shitty.
We change when we say "Yes I can".
So said a younger, wiser man.
Some rules are there for us to break.
Nothing can rectify my mistakes.
Ain't that a pity.
Ain't that a shame.
Life can get pretty shitty,
Hey-eh-ay-ay [x3] Oooh-ooooooh
'This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off
or to take the tranquillizing drug of gradualism.' (Martin Luther King)
I've got to make it on my own,
I've got to find my way.
Got a number or a line.
Out of time and playing pantomime.
Don't have a rhythm or a rhyme.
Out of sight is out of mind .
Don't think I'll stick around too long.
Summer's gone I'd best be moving on.
Ain't that a pity.
Ain't that a shame.
Life can get pretty shitty,
Now and again.
Yeah, everything goes round again.
Standing up and sitting down.
And turning round in circles - Oooh-ooooooh.
Ain't that a pity.
Ain't that a shame.
Life can get pretty shitty,
Now and again.
Standing up and sitting down.
And walking round in circles.
Ooooooh, everything goes round again
“In the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.” (Martin Luther King)
Ain't that a pity, pity.
Ain't that a shame.
Life can get pretty shitty.
Now and again.
