Protest The Hero - C'est La Vie lyrics

Stepped off a chair so he
Could learn to let loose
Learn to let loose before
The pendulum wore off
His final sound a gurgle and a cough
And his final words "the pendulum wore off"

Stepped off a building to
Find concrete evidence
Concrete evidence that he’d ever
Make an impact fiction splattered into
Fiction splattered into fact fact
And his fiction splattered into another
Sidewalk painting on display

Stepped off a bridge so he
Could make a splash
To make a splash he had to flounder
Like a fish out of water
Another lamb that chose the slaughter

Stepped off a chair so he
Could learn to let loose
Learn to let loose before
The pendulum wore off
His final sound a gurgle and a cough

Stepped off a platform and briefly made
Yeah he briefly made the news
Made the news and made the
Trains run fifteen minutes late
Oh, what a price to pay the
Trains were fifteen minutes late
Oh, what a price to pay to
Be the author of your fate

The trains were fifteen minutes late
(to be the author of your fate)
The trains were fifteen minutes late
(to be the author of your fate)

(C’est la vie)
A drooling old bitch and a house full of lies
(C’est la vie)
The little things that kill you make
You glad to be alive (C’est la vie)
Disease in your genes and ocean
Levels on the rise (C’est la vie)
Sing a song of living before everybody dies
