Life Sucks Then You Die (The Fools - 1985)

From the album "World Dance Party"

My house burned down in a flash of thunder
My wife ran off with a one-legged plumber
The crops fell dead when the river bed went dry

My dog got squashed by a pickup truck
My son ran away and got hooked on druge
My daughter's knocked up by the class of 85

People say that life is good
it don't seem good to me
I'm lost without a paddle
and I'm headed up shit creek

People say that life is fun
but I don't know why
As far as I can tell
Life sucks then you die

The government dumps its toxic waste right on top of my mother's grave
a team of experts say it won't do her no harm
but my sheep went crazy and killed my mule
I cut off my dick with a power tool
fixing the hole where the meteor hit the barn
(and it hurt too!)

People say that life is good
and I just piss and moan
I got one foot on a banana peel
the other in the Twilight Zone

People say that life is fun
but I don't know why
As far as I can tell
Life sucks then you die

(let me get some yee ha's out there!)
(YEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAA!!!!)

I went to the store to buy some shells
my gun went off and blew the owner to hell
now I'm sitting here in jail singing this song
one guy wants to cut me with a knife
another guy wants me to be his wife
I hope they hang me before something really goes wrong

People say that life is good
give thanks for what you have
when all you have is nothin'
nothin' makes you glad

People say that life is fun
but I don't know why
As far as I can tell
Life sucks then you die

I said

People say that life is fun
but I don't know why
As far as I can tell
Life sucks
Life sucks
Life sucks
THEN YOU DIE

This thumbsup is my penance:
