Love is so confusing, it's impossible to pin
You can try and play the game
But you know you'll never win

Once you think you've found it,
you'll feel over the moon
But don't get too carried away,
don't be such a loon

You can give it to one person,
and stay with them for life,
live together with your partner,
your husband or your wife

But over time love can die,
this can be quite sad
But years of denial and drinking
would surely turn you mad

So then you're at the start again,
single, strong and free
only this time you're a lot older now
and love is hard to see

What a time to live
So generous, yet nothing to give
Don't know what we need
In a world ruled by greed
What a time to live

We're so lucky to be alive
At the bridge edge just wanting to dive
Our leaders are ****
But we take the hit
We're so lucky to be alive

Life isn't really that bad
Different opinion? Oh you're just mad
Your son comes out gay
With the fish he now lay
Life isn't really that bad

We don't have the right to complain
Yet depression causes constant pain
We think we have it all
In reality, we can barely crawl
We don't have the right to complain

But look, we've come so far
Leaving nothing but an emotional scar
You may smile when you wake
But we all know it's fake
But look, we've come so far
