Life Is Messy

Lyrics

When you're the last one to know
 What everybody knows
 Shame falls down
 When you're the last one to see
 What everybody sees
 Shame falls down like rain falls down
 Life is messy
 It's starting to repress me
 Time and time again
 I think I'm gonna win
 And it blows up in my face
 When your last hope is gone
 And you're feelin' so unable
 Shame falls down
 When your heart won't open up
 And there's love left on the table
 Fame falls down like rain falls down
 Life is messy
 It's starting to distress me
 They sell it in the press
 They smell it on your breath
 But you keep on comin' clean
 Life is messy
 ♪
 I don't wanna go back home
 The streets are lined in rubble
 A heart that's made of stone
 Can lead you into trouble
 Life is messy
 'Cause trying to depress me
 They can kick you in the nuts
 They can hit you where it hurts
 Don't get down on your knees
 Life is messy
 I feel like Elvis Presley
 At a very early age
 They put you in a cage
 And they push you out on stage
 Life is messy
