Life

When the world is getting you down
And life seems not worthwhile
When all your hopes and dreams
Have crashed and you sit there in the pile

You've lost your home
Your families left
And your cars been written off
It was not your fault
The house burned down
With your best friend in the loft

Remember life can still be good
With only one arm and leg
Your one good eye
Will see you through
They do wonders with plastic surgery
And your hair will soon grow through

Remember that god loves you
And that things could still be worse
Remember the way things are today
Got nothing to do with that gypsy
And her curse
