Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I go out, I take pills to take the edge off
Or to just take a chillax, man, forget about it
Just a certified bad ass out for a night on the town
Ain't it oh, exciting
The way one can fake their way through life
Hey but that's neither here nor there
In a way how could one ever prove
You just putting 'em all on
[Verse 2]
That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
That's life, tho
In every brutal way
[Verse 3]
From lowest point, I hand glide into the valley of ashes
Just as powder head has long been burned to the ground
Yeah, with fire, with fire
A chosen one just leveled the farm
I guess hell has finally frozen over
I wanna run into the rolling hills along some midwestern highway
But there are scorpions out there
There was a man who touched the lives of many
And when he died he left so many people crying
[Verse 4]
That's life, tho
So sad, so true
That's life, tho
So sad to say
[Verse 5]
Stay Puft was on top of the world
Then he fell all the way back down naturally
The laws of physics have shown that a man must walk through life
By peaks and valleys
It was a man, a big ol' hearted man that we all put on a pedestal
And when he left this Earth
Well he left so many loved ones behind
[Verse 6]
That's life, tho
Hate to point out the painfully obvious
That's life, tho
So sad, so true
That's life, tho
That's life, tho
That's life, tho
Almost hate to say
