Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, boy
Hey, boy
Hey, boy
Hey, boy
Hey, boy
Hey, boy
[Verse 2]
Woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars, maybe
Everyone thinks she's crazy
They're too blind to see
Never failed to call attention
To things we that we never, never mention
Oh, there is so much bad things
Sure that you're livin' day by day
[Verse 3]
Woman came and said to me
Listen very carefully
There's brothers killing brothers
People living on their knees
Yeah, I know
[Verse 4]
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie
[Verse 5]
Woman came and said to me
She had an husband on an island
Found his body up on the wasteland
Soldiers came, took him away
Just to torture her, you see
[Verse 6]
C'est la vie (Yeah, ooh, alright)
C'est la vie (Alright, now)
(Alright)
C'est la vie
[Verse 7]
Woman came and said to me
Listen very carefully
There's brothers killin' brothers day by day
People have to live a life
We gotta make sacrifice (Hey, boy)
Livin' on our knees (Hey, boy)
[Verse 8]
C'est la vie
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
[Verse 9]
Ooh, Lord
Woman came and said to me
Listen very carefully
There's brothers killin' brothers
People got to live a life on our knees
People got to live their lives on their knees
[Verse 10]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
C'est la vie
(Don't wait, don't wait)
C'est la vie
(Go)
C'est la vie
(Go)
C'est la vie
(Go, go 'way, go away)
C'est la vie
(Hey, hey)
C'est la vie (Hey, hey)
(I'm on the top)
C'est la vie (Don't ever, child)
(No way)
C'est la vie
(No way)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
[Verse 11]
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
(Hey, boy)
C'est la vie (Hey, boy)
