Life is sweet - remastered Natalie Merchant

It's a pity, It's a crying shame
He pulled you down again
How painful it must be
To bruise so easily...inside
It's a pity, it's a downright crime
It happens all the time
You wanna stay little daddy's girl
You wanna hide from the vicious world...outside

Don't cry, you know the tears will do no good
So dry your eyes
Your daddy, he's the iron man
Battleship wrecked on dry land
Your mamma, she's a bitter bride
She'll never be satisfied
You know, and that's not right

But don't cry, you know the tears will do no good
So dry your eyes
They told you life is hard
Misery from the start, it's dull
It's slow, it's painful
But I tell you life is sweet
In spite of the misery
There's so much more, be grateful
