This Is The Life

And when they tell you that you don't know what you're doing now 
And when they tell you that you're not the one to live your life 
And when they tell you that they think that you're just marking time 
And when they tell you that they think that you're in trouble now 
And when they tell you that you're wasting the best years of your life 
And when they tell you that you'll never get a single thing right 
Well, put up a fight 
But this is the life 
No matter what they say, you know that 
This is the life 
For better or worse, it'll stay that way 
And when they tell you that they think they've got you figured out 
And when they tell you that they think they know what makes you tick 
And when they step with their 12-point program for being like them 
And when they tell you that you're blowing every chance you get 
And when they tell you that you're setting up a life of regret 
And when they tell you that you just can't get a single thing straight 
Well, it's too late 
But this is the life 
No matter what they say, you know that 
This is the life 
For better or worse, it'll stay that way 
And when they gather 'round like a covey of witches with their sneering pity 
Tell them sons of bitches 
Tell them sons of bitches 
Tell them sons of bitches 
And this is the life 
And this is the life
