Ain't Life A Bitch lyrics

She whined over and over in self pity

How difficult twelve hours of labor could be

Yet who bears the full facial scars still

Of overzealous delivery forceps for life

Ain't life a bitch...

They moaned and groaned for their loss

That their undesired children took away

As if it were a plot to steal away

The freedoms they took for granted

Ain't life a bitch...

Physical and verbal pummeling daily

To make up for all the losses life made

In acts and words in, and beyond the home

No sins for those who are guiltless to themselves

Ain't life a bitch...

The confused eyes and uncertain fear

That holds a child's hand tightly everyday

Replaces fostering feelings of humanity

Guiding them to the solitary confinement

Ain't life a bitch...

Better to live in this world of pains

Than chance the trade for another yet

The world is lonely, truely unyielding

Emotional explosions and avoidance

Ain't life a bitch...

Two worlds come to be from this fate

Criminal suffering, or faithfully wise

One lives constantly, with the other near

Intended good must battle compulsive evil

Ain't life a bitch...

The world must suffer needlessly

The sins of those who bring sorrow selfishly

To the coming generations endlessly

For their indulgence unrestrained

Ain't life a bitch...

A child's eyes and heart

Still residing in the soul of age

A place where the tears fall like rain

As vividly as if the storm were yesterday

Ain't life a bitch...

The scars to remain even after interment

The wounds to debilitate for life

Tucked far away, never really seen

But alive and dwelling in a child's torment

Ain't life a bitch.
