A Man's Life
Oh, somewhere there is singing
Somewhere there is grace
Somewhere there is laughter
A smile on every face
But I am here to tell you
About a place so cold and drab
It makes you shiver violently
And dulls the joy you have
This place is not in the Heavens
It is not upon the land
It’s not over the oceans
And it’s hard to understand
As long as I walk the earth
It is always set apart
There’s nothing more mysterious
Than what’s in a woman’s heart
You think that you are pleasing
You think you do what’s right
But you never had a chance
You end up in a fight
So I tell all you poor men
Don’t even pretend to try
Just live your life and stumble on
And hope that soon you’ll die
