lyrics
life ain't like a movie, life ain't like a song
sometimes you can't get the things you need
there's no poetic justice, no tidy denouement
just lonesome hearts and aching hands and feet
life ain't like a fable, life ain't like a joke
sometimes the bad guy gets away
no well-deserved comeuppance, no solemn speeches spoke
just the sleepy music of the everyday
oh, truth is stranger than fiction
and more beautiful too
but I can't help this addiction
to spinning lies for you
life ain't like a novel, life ain't like a poem
sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
no reconciliation, no way to go back home
just tired sinners trying to catch a break
life ain't like a story in a magazine
sometimes there's no moral at the end
no sudden transformation, no god from the machine
but I guess it don't hurt if we pretend
sometimes you can't get the things you need
there's no poetic justice, no tidy denouement
just lonesome hearts and aching hands and feet
life ain't like a fable, life ain't like a joke
sometimes the bad guy gets away
no well-deserved comeuppance, no solemn speeches spoke
just the sleepy music of the everyday
oh, truth is stranger than fiction
and more beautiful too
but I can't help this addiction
to spinning lies for you
life ain't like a novel, life ain't like a poem
sometimes we don't learn from our mistakes
no reconciliation, no way to go back home
just tired sinners trying to catch a break
life ain't like a story in a magazine
sometimes there's no moral at the end
no sudden transformation, no god from the machine
but I guess it don't hurt if we pretend
