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 byOh, 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 sayLittle 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 lieOh, 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 sayStrangled, 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 whyOh, life's misunderstood me
So I close my eyes and dream of better days, yeah yeah
Ooo, life's misunderstood me
Life's not always fair, life's not always fair or so they sayRestless soul deep inside I'm searchin' 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 timesLife, 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, yeahLittle 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
