Lyrics

You were built to last a lifetime Just not the life that you live You don't have to make it worse 'Cause the world isn't perfect And you don't need to give a toss But you'd make it better if you did You did, you did You did, yea-yea-yea You were made to be loving Not a source of bitterness and hate And when you turn them on yourself You make one more useless martyr Make the best of here and now Heaven or hell can wait They'll wait, they'll wait Let them wait When you lose your appetite for self-destruction You can stop viewing life as tragedy Given a few more years and look from his angle Where it looks more and more and more like comedy Where it looks more and more and more like comedy Oh, you were made to be happy Not mired in sorrow and regret Misery comes around enough You don't need to invite him And when he leaves, you should grab All the joy you can get You can get, you can get You can get, eh-eh-eh-ooh When you lose your appetite for self-destruction You can stop viewing life as tragedy Give it a few more years and look from this angle Where it looks more and more and more like comedy Yeah, it looks more and more and more like comedy Like comedy, ah-ha-ha-ha Like comedy, ah-ha-ha-ha Like comedy, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha
