John Butler Trio - Life Ain't What It Seems lyrics

rate me

Strange as it may be

Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

It's like going to war to make peace

Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

Like the old man out there he lives on the streets

And now he's asking for a dollar off everybody he meets

Never knew he used to be a milloinare on wall street

Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

Just like that plane you're late for leaving without you

And now it changes all your plans and puts you in a bad mood

And the plane ends up crashing but at the time man you would not have a clue

That being late would be so good and life is strange this true

So sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

Sometimes good presents come in bad wrapping

Strange as it may be

Sometimes bad presents come in good wrapping

Just like our Prime Minister with his new policy

Call the RFA he says he wants to save the old trees

You have a look at what he's come up with his business mates and you will see

That the man could not give a shit and some things ain't what they seem

Just like that environmental day sponsored by Shell

So we can all endorse the killing and go, go straight to hell

It's like Bunnings saying they're supporting your community

While they're chopping it right down and some things ain't what they seem

Oh I won't forget,

That everything, you know it's happening, happening for a reason

So there ain't no need, no need in worrying...

Just get your job done.

Strange as it may be

Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems

It's like going to war to make peace

Sometimes life you know it ain't what it seems
