Morning Glory - Life's A Long Revenge lyrics

When I was a little boy I'd sing a little song It'd help me get to school On days I hated everyone A pretty little ditty That would help me carry on And if you like it Maybe you can help me sing along O! Life's a long revenge You take a path in spite And it never seems to have an end O! You only hurt yourself And never really seem to hurt anybody else My girl lay neglected on the bed And went to sleep While music played inside my head A double symphony I'm sorry darlin' but I can't My words are all in vain And I can't make the pain all stop Except inside my brain I meant it when I told you, sweetheart I was quite insane My life's malicious machinations Plotting the refrain An anthemic offering to any anathema you chose And as I fall asleep I start to whistle like a fool O! Life's a long revenge You take a path in spite And it never seems to have an end O! I never liked you anyway There'll come a day that you'll be sorry And I'll be far away O! You only hurt yourself And never really seem to hurt anybody else When I was a little kid My mama said to me "Son, you can be anything that you wanna be" I'm sure she watches from afar To see how things have gone But I have naught to show Except I hope she'll sing along...
