Life's A Bitch, Darling

   
Life's always pleased, it seems, to ambush us  
upon our road at times we least expect  
it, coming crashing in with all its fuss  
to leave our dreams, so precious, smashed and wrecked.  
At any opportunity, with games  
and painful tricks, it loves to see us hurt,  
it loves to see our hopes go up in flames,  
it loves to leave us lying in the dirt.  
But up we battered get, we have no choice,  
we have to walk along our fated track,  
obeying cruel Life's commanding Voice  
which calls us on, and there's no turning back.  
We only know – on this we can depend –  
that living Life will kill us in the end.
