Life’s Too Short \u00a9 Studio Muntz<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Sometimes in a temporary lapse of hopefulness I feel<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hands of Time wrap it\u2019s rusted steel fingers around my throat trying to choke<\/strong><\/p>\n

the life I never chose out of me<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can you be so mistaken Father Time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought you knew it all wiseguy,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting a little slow are we?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right under your wrinkled old nose<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been living the stealth life that I wanted<\/strong><\/p>\n

I never liked or wanted the life you gave me!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It only became a decoy to fool your jaundiced ancient eyes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can I have a second chance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If so, I promise I\u2019ll take it and do it all over again<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exactly the same<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll piss on the life you give me<\/strong><\/p>\n

All the while faking it to<\/strong><\/p>\n

shield the one I\u2019m really living<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t have it! It\u2019s mine!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now fuck off and go do your mortality thing somewhere else<\/strong><\/p>\n

on somebody more deserving of your attention<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now who\u2019s the bigger fool Mr Tick Tock?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Me who arrogantly thinks he can fool Father Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

and his pleasuring partner The Hand Of Fate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Or You Father Time,who actually thinks I give a shit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyways, It\u2019s all an illusion right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh Old Father Time you cruel, sardonic pathetic asshole<\/strong><\/p>\n

you and your Napoleonic Complex<\/strong><\/p>\n

have always been\u201d much too short!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wait \u2018til your wife Lady Life finds out that you have<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cShort\u201d changed Her too!<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019ll be Hell to pay here on Earth<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019\u2019ll have to pull The Hand Of Fate<\/strong><\/p>\n

outta your heavenly white robe<\/strong><\/p>\n

And stand up and fight like the little old man that you are!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And if it makes you feel superior<\/strong><\/p>\n

you can always take me outta here when ever you want!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go ahead !<\/strong><\/p>\n

But we\u2019ll both know that while I was here,<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was always taller than you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And you? You\u2019ll always be \u201cmuch too short!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And beaten up by Little Old Lady Life to boot!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I guess the truth hurts!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hickory dickory dock<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m pissing all over your clock<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can have me when I\u2019m good and done<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your hurry?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We both know you\u2019ve made Lady Life much \u201ctoo short\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, I won\u2019t tell her<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now go and get me a drink bitch!<\/strong><\/p>\n
