C'est La Vie

Michael Barson

Life begins at five to eight
No time to waste, it will not wait
A lay-in that was yesterday
Up and at 'em into the fray
There'll be no time to catch your breath
The enemy of life is death
So sweep the hallway, mop the wall
Your destiny's about to call

The legislation's in the bag
Justice, a toothless old hag
It's every man now on his own
It's all for one, you'd better run
And stand up tall against the wall
And one by one you all shall fall
And though you'll try to get back home
Your cupboards bare, without a bone

Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
C'est comme ça que ça va être
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
C'est comme ça que ça va être

Stand up tall against the wall
One by one you all shall fall
And though you'll try to get back home
The cupboards bare, without a bone

Some call it Armageddon
I'm sure you've heard them say
It's a tyrannical heaven
And we're only a moment away

Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
C'est comme ça que ça va être
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
C'est comme ça que ça va être
