Janis Ian - Life Is Never Wrong lyrics
[Janis Ian - Life Is Never Wrong lyrics]
Feast or famine, God or Mammon
Priest or shaman opposites attract
Saints and sinners, losers, winners
Rank beginners there's no going back
My old man was a dreamer
Dreamed his life away
Sometimes dreams are realer
Than the roles we play daddy used to say
Don't walk another man's path
You don't sing another man's song
And you don't pay the whores of Babylon
Road is never straight
The way is always long
But one thing I can say before I'm gone
Life is never wrong
People usеd to laugh and say
"You never ought to make thе truth your bride
Marry money, fill your tummy
Only junkies live to get that high"
My first love was Beauty
She tried so hard to please
And then she introduced me to the Beast
Knocked me to my knees
Don't walk another man's path
You don't sing another man's song
You don't pay the whores of Babylon
The road is never straight
The way is always long
But one thing I can say before I'm gone
Life is never wrong
Hold your head up high
No matter what the weight
Look life in the eye, don't hesitate
Life won't wait
You don't walk another man's path
You don't sing another man's song
You don't pay the whores of Babylon
Road is never straight
The way is always long
But one thing I can say before I'm gone
Life is never wrong
Priest or shaman opposites attract
Saints and sinners, losers, winners
Rank beginners there's no going back
My old man was a dreamer
Dreamed his life away
Sometimes dreams are realer
Than the roles we play daddy used to say
Don't walk another man's path
You don't sing another man's song
And you don't pay the whores of Babylon
Road is never straight
The way is always long
But one thing I can say before I'm gone
Life is never wrong
People usеd to laugh and say
"You never ought to make thе truth your bride
Marry money, fill your tummy
Only junkies live to get that high"
My first love was Beauty
She tried so hard to please
And then she introduced me to the Beast
Knocked me to my knees
Don't walk another man's path
You don't sing another man's song
You don't pay the whores of Babylon
The road is never straight
The way is always long
But one thing I can say before I'm gone
Life is never wrong
Hold your head up high
No matter what the weight
Look life in the eye, don't hesitate
Life won't wait
You don't walk another man's path
You don't sing another man's song
You don't pay the whores of Babylon
Road is never straight
The way is always long
But one thing I can say before I'm gone
Life is never wrong
