Sometimes Life Hits You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Might have a nice life, with coffee And friends you can call Could have a Shakespeare collection And might have read them all Could have a family that made you Nicer than some folks had Could have a family that you made That isn't so bad Well, you can build up your armor Against what life brings You can dodge when life kicks And you can duck when life swings You can outsmart all sadness And outfight with the best But sometimes life hits you Like a chisel to the chest Then you say... [Chorus] Ow! Fuck, that hurt! Ow! Fuck, that hurt! Ow! Fuck, that hurt! There'll be something sometime That makеs you feel like you're dying You're gonna havе yours And I'm gonna have mine [Verse 2] Could have a nice home with flowers And cool modern loot Could have a sweet job, short hours And an easy commute Could have a partner, feel lucky With best love and wishes Cute kittens and puppies And tropical fishes Well, you can quote from philosophers Or bibles or songs That find hope in the hopeless And find right in the wrongs You can wear art and wisdom Like a bulletproof vest But sometimes life hits you Like a hammer to the chest Then you say... [Chorus] Ow! Fuck, that hurt! Ow! Fuck, that hurt! Ow! Fuck, that hurt! Someday it's just your time To feel like you're dying You're gonna have yours And I'm gonna have mine Fuck! [Bridge] Ah you think anyone who ever lived Got through and enjoyed it? Oh, but somehow you Yeah right, you're gonna avoid it? [Verse 3] Well you can buy full insurance Against fire and theft And you can zig to the right And you can zag to the left No bad health, bad breakups Or bad luck or death But life will hit you someday somehow Like a chainsaw to the chest Then you say... [Interlude] Well, you'll think of all the words you could say, at that time You'll think of poems, you'll think of all the languages and fancy words and grammar ever invented by the human tongue, and philosophy and poetry You'll think of all the paintings, of wars that've happened to theoretically make life better, or all the technology, all the religions But when that thing happens, that gets deep in your heart Well, forget about it. You will say... [Chorus] Ow! Fuck, this hurts! (That's it) Ow! Fuck, this hurts! (That's all you'll say) Ow! Fuck, this hurts!
