It's a pity It's a crying shame Who pulled you down again? How painful it must be To bruise so easily inside It's a pity It's a downright crime But it happens all the time You wanna stay little daddy's girl Wanna hide from the vicious world outside But don't cry Know the tears'll do no good So dry your eyes Your daddy he's the iron man A battleship wrecked on dry land Your mama she's a bitter bride She'll never be satisfied, And you know That's not right But don't cry Know the tears'll do no good So dry your eyes They told you life is hard It's misery from the start It's dull and slow and painful I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more Be grateful Who do you believe? Who will you listen to Who will it be? It's high time that you decide In your own mind Tried to comfort you Tried to tell you to be patient They are blind They can't 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 It's misery from the start It's dull and slow and painful I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more Be grateful Who do you believe? Who will you listen to Who will it be? It's high time you decide It's time you make up your own sweet little mind They told you life is long Be thankful when it's done Don't 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
