Lyrics
LIFE
Verse
From the womb to the tomb it?s a struggle.
Can you dig the metaphor, I?m on the run from the gun?
Your life is not a sentence for the crimes of a past one.
Your life is not a curse, but a gift so won?t you have fun?
The All Mighty is not some mean old man with a plan-
to make us suffer so that he could can have a good laugh.
It?s how we use the gift of choice that he gave us,
and if we?d use it right there would be low fuss.
People, life is not a curse,
just because sometimes it hurts.
You exist. That?s your gift.
Life is what you make it.
Pseudo-intellectuals like to denounce God.
If there really is a God, Blah, blah, blah, blah.
So what if he?s a myth?
The Commandments aren?t wrong.
If we lived by the message
maybe we could get along.
So cash that reality check.
Starting with yourself, have a little respect.
Stop waiting for something to make it easy for you.
You?ve already got the power.
Do what you got to do.
Chorus A
Life is what you make it.
Make the most of it.
Verse
Life isn?t promised to anyone in the first place.
A roll of the dice and you?re in the human race.
You may come into the world with a bad set of cards.
Life is good for some and for some it?s hard.
There is no guarantee life is gonna be good.
But the chances are better if we do what we should.
Easier said than done, yeah, I know so what.
Do you want a better life, or don?t you got the guts.
Chorus B
People, life is not a curse,
just because sometimes it hurts.
You exist. That?s your gift.
Life is what you make it.
Verse
Some may say what?s the point.
We all live to die any way.
Thinkin? their so deep, but they sound really gay.
Thinking life is defined by self destruction.
Get drunk get high. Live it up till I die.
Yeah, everybody?s gonna die some day.
But no one said that you had to hurry down to the grave.
Worst of all you have the save the Earth types
Who will save us all by how much they gripe.
Saying America?s a mess but they stay in it.
So they can clean up the mess by shitting on it.
