lyrics

LIFE ISN’T FAIR

LIFE ISN’T FAIR
I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING TO DESERVE THIS PAIN
OTHER PEOPLE SEEM SO CALM
WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I’M GOING TO GO INSANE
NO IT ISN’T FAIR, IT ISN’T FAIR TO ME
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY
I JUST DON’T SEE

WHEN THE MOTHER ISN’T THERE
LITTLE BABY DOESN’T GET A PROPER START
WHEN THERE’S NO ONE THERE TO CARE
LIFE IS HARDER WHEN YOU HAVE A BROKEN HEART
NO IT ISN’T FAIR THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES
YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE CARDS YOU’RE DEALT
THAT’S YOUR DESTINY

YOU MIGHT WANT TO ROLL UP IN AN EGGSHELL
AND KISS THE WORLD GOODBYE
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUSH A KNIFE AGAINST YOUR HEART AND DIE

LIFE ISN’T FAIR
AND EVERYBODY KNOWS IT’S TRUE
THERE ARE SOME THINGS OUT THERE
THAT CAN REALLY MAKE A MESS OUT OF YOU
NO IT ISN’T FAIR BUT THAT’S THE WAY IT IS
LIFE ISN’T FAIR BUT IT’S THE ONLY LIFE WE HAVE TO LIVE
LIFE ISN’T FAIR BUT IT’S THE ONLY LIFE WE HAVE TO LIVE

January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45
