Motörhead - Cradle to the Grave lyrics

[Motörhead - Cradle to the Grave lyrics]

Ain't so bad, ain't so bad
Could've been a loser
Ain't so bad, ain't so bad
Rather be a boozer

Standing at the crossroads
See where the wind blows
Following the white line following my nose

You'll be living on the razor's edge
Soon as you learn to shave
Make sure you live be a long time dead
Cradle to the grave
Ain't too good, don't look good
But it'll get worse
Don't look good, don't feel good
It's gonna take years
Life drives you nuts, babe
Cause if you ain't certain
It'll kick you in the guts, babe
And leave you hurting

Don't matter up or down sideways, in or out
If it makes you feel good
Do it and then get out

You'll be living on the razor's edge
Listen to what I say
Don't spend your life on your own bed
Cradle to the grave

Ain't so bad, ain't so bad
Could've been a junkie
Ain't so bad, ain't so bad
Could've had a monkey
You can't take it with you
Not even if you earn it

You find out what you need, babe
Then you better learn it
It don't matter who you are
Millionaire or whore
Just get out and scrape that jar
That's what they've got it for

You've been living on a razor's edge
One way to behave make sure you do it
Or it'll cut you dead cradle to the grave
Cradle to the grave
