lyrics

Life's a beach, or a bitch,
a bowl of cherries, or the pits,
silver-spooned or self-made,
sour grapes, or lemonade

The world's not a web, it is more like a net,
and the sky doesn't cry, the streets just get wet,
and hope's not a kite, there's no metaphor life,
it's wish as you may and try as you might...

And time is money, or it's Mickey,
begging's a choice if you're not too picky,
and death comes too soon, or as sweet release,
life is hell or it's a peach
