Little old man contemplates suicide twice a day

Life's passed him by

Little old woman scared and blind, left alone in desperate 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'd sewn, 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 them

Life's not always fair, or so they say

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

Feeling left to die

I'm a product of your troubled ways, you made me what I am today

Now you're asking why

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

Ooh, restless soul deep inside, I'm searchin' for some piece of mind

Livin' just to die

I'm an angry man, I've always had, had to fight to survive my past

Sign of those times

Life, it's misunderstood me

And I know you know that you've been there too, oh

Time lets a restless soul fade away

Life's not always fair

Life's not always fair, or so they say

Or so they say

Or so they say

Or so they say

Oh, so they say

Yeah, life, it's misunderstood me

So, I close my eyes and dream of a better day

Oh, life's misunderstood me

Life's not always fair

Life's not always fair, or so they say

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

So, don't you cry, don't you cry
