<b>Life's A Long Revenge</b> by <i>Morning Glory</i><br />When I was a little boy

I'd sing a little song

It'd help me get to school

On days I hated everyone

A pretty little ditty

That would help me carry on

And if you like it

Maybe you can help me sing along:

O! Life's a long revenge

You take a path in spite-

And it never seems to have an end

O! You only hurt yourself

And never really seem to hurt

Anybody else

My girl lay neglected on the bed

And went to sleep

While music played inside my head

A double symphony

I'm sorry darlin' but I can't

My words are all in vain

And I can't make the pain all stop

Except inside my brain

I meant it when I told you, sweetheart-

I was quite insane

My life's malicious machinations

Plotting the refrain

An anthemic offering to any anathema you chose

And as I fall asleep

I start to whistle like a fool

O! Life's a long revenge

You take a path in spite

And it never seems to have an end

O! I never liked you anyway

There'll come a day that you'll be sorry

And I'll be far away

O! You only hurt yourself

And never really seem to hurt anybody else

When I was a little kid

My mama said to me

“Son, you can be anything that you wanna be”

I'm sure she watched from afar

To see how things have gone

But I have naught to show

Except I hope she'll sing along...
