Pretty Thing

PRETTY THING: All these people hanging round Waiting for the world to change All this pressure coming down Life is not a pretty thing Standing in the pouring rain Lonely eyes and soaking skin Wishing it was yesterday I say life is not a pretty thing Trying hard to make it work Losing all my faith in God Shaking hands shaking heads Why, please tell me why Is all this sorrow and suffering Still going on All they ever wanted was a chance to live Sometimes I just wonder Can they forgive, how can they still forgive All these people running scared Seen so many times before Life is something to be shared Life is not a pretty thing I can't see the sense in this Where has all the feeling gone Woke up this morning with a pain in my head Tried to work it out but I went back to bed This ain't the way that it's supposed to be This is not the day This is not me Half my life is wasted the rest does not exist They're writing to papers They're making out lists Searching for reasons why everythings a mess Why we sit and take it is anybodys guess And oh, life is not a pretty thing Life is not pretty, pretty Life is not a pretty thing Pretty thing Pretty thing When you're shaking hands and breaking heads
