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's sewn
She lives lie to lie
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
Oh, strangled, caged, left alone
Doing 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
Ooh, life's misunderstood me
Life's not always fair
Life's not always fair
Or so they say
Restless soul deep inside
Searches for some peace of mind
Living just to die
I'm an angry man, 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's misunderstood me
So I close my eyes and dream of better days
Oh 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 (So don't you cry)
So don't you cry (So don't you cry)
