Sweet, life ain't sweet
Life's a drunk on a sober street
You feel out of place with the human race
And you die of some damn disease
Oh, sweet, life ain't sweet
Life's a tramp with two broken feet
Oh, he hears the train and the highway's wane
But they'll never hear him scream
It's sweet
Oh, sweet, life ain't sweet
Life's a junkie with rotten teeth
Well, you tie off but your gums are soft
And your rib falls into a stream
It's sweet, life ain't sweet
Life's a CEO with dreams
Well you'll make a billion, robbin' and stealin'
All done legally
Lord, it's sweet
Sweet, life ain't sweet
Life's a cop with no soul to speak
He'll evict a man from his father's land
And replace it with a movie screen
Sweet, life ain't sweet
Life's a man driven to his knees
Well, he hates himself and the cards he's dealt
Made nightmares of all his dreams
Lord, it's sweet
Well, sweet, life is sweet
You gotta remember how to breathe
And if you feel lost just laugh it off
'Cause we're all crazy
Oh, it's sweet
