Lyrics Life Is Shit - The Dead Milkmen

Life Is Shit

I ran into a friend of mine
And he said he was gonna take some words and make them rhyme
I said «You can fool some of them some of the time
But you can only fool half them all of the time»
He said «Yes I do believe this is true
Would you like to come and sniff some glue?
And we’ll fly to where the skies are blue
And look for things both bright and new»
And on a pretty Sunday morning
A bunch of pretty Baptist girls
Linked their pretty hands and they sang
Life is shit, life is shit
The world is shit, the world is shit
This is life as I know it
This is life as I know it
And in the sky I saw Richard Nixon
Smoking a lacey with Mr. Dickson
He said «Son there’s something I must say
I do believe I’ve found a better way»
And a vision came
And I knew it was Bob Crane
And Bob sang:
Life is shit, life is shit
The world is shit, the world is shit
This is life as I know it
This is life as I know it
And when my friend and I were done
We went to rest upon the sun
Cause life takes from us the things we love
And it robs us of the special ones
And it puts them high where we can’t climb
And we only miss them all the time
And we sing:
Life is shit, life is shit
The world is shit, the world is shit
This is life as I know it
This is life as I know it
This is life as I know it
This is life as I know it
This is life as I know it
