Little old man contemplates suicide twice a day

Life's passed him by

Little old woman scared and blind, left alone in desparate times

Life's passed her by

Oh, life, it's misunderstood them, so they close their eyes and dream of better days

Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah

Life's not always fair, or so they say

Little boy with vacant eyes, daddy won't be home tonight

And he don't know why

His mother, she sits alone tangled in the web she's sewn

She lives lie to lie

Oh, life, it's misunderstood them, so they close their eyes and dream of better days

(Oh, yeah) oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah

Life's not always fair, or so they say

Strangled, caged, left alone, doin' time in a broken home

Feelin' left to die

I'm a product of your troubled ways

You made me what I am today

Now you're asking why, oh

Oh, life's misunderstood me, so I close my eyes and dream of better days, yeah, yeah

Ooh, life's misunderstood me, yeah

Life's not always fair, life's not always fair or so they say

Restless soul deep inside I'm searching for some piece of mind

Livin' just to die

I'm an angry man and I always have had to fight to survive my past

A sign of those times

Life, it's misunderstood me and I know you know that you've been there too

Time lets a restless soul fade away

Life's not always fair, life's not always fair, or so they say

Oh, life, it's misunderstood me (misunderstood me)

So they close their eyes and I dream of a better day

Oh-oh-oh-oh, life's misunderstood me

Life's not always fair

Life's not always fair or so they say, yeah

Little boy with hopeful eyes, daddy's comin' home tonight

So don't you cry

So don't you cry (so don't you cry) so don't you cry (so don't you cry)
