Shake hands and kiss babies with sincerity
Be crazy but stealthy as some confuse with clarity
Do not be affected, beyond laughter, by parody
Do your best to be kind
In circumstances you will find
All happiness is in the mind
And pleasure secondary
Or vice versa so I’m told
Results may vary
So, call my bluff
Let now be soon enough
If time is running out
And that’s what life’s about
That’s what life’s about
Go meet somebody new
No matter what they do to you
Leave them sunny side up
When you carry a heavy heart
Stay light on your feet
Go discover
You can recover
As long as you compete
Don’t let your pain be wasted
Hold no disgust
For foods you’ve never tasted
Have pity for the thieves
For you know not their needs
Go tromping through some leaves
For lunch try Vietnamese
Those spices tingle the scalp
Let action conquer doubt
There are no better times than these
And that’s what life’s about
That’s what life’s about
Believe in people
Know they will not trust you
Do not be surprised
By the awful things they will do
Because every little thing gets justified
The price to pay for sins we hide
In love, revenge, greed and pride
This world is a filthy place
And we are the dirt
How can so much come
From one little squirt
This world of hurt and pleasure
Would be a little better
If we did not keep score or measure
But that’s what life’s about
That’s what life’s about
Know the difference
Between adventurous and careless
The cause of most mistakes
Is lacking in awareness
Or denial thereof
Was that a push or a shove
Lust or love
Implied or implicated
Is seduced sedated?
Either way persuaded
Seems to go against my will
Sometimes I wonder still
Deafened by the shrill
Of my very own voice
Is everything by choice
Or a pre-determined christening
Aren’t you even listening
Please advise
Intelligence is not dispensed
Entirely to the wise
Surprise!
Cynical irony
This “benefit of doubt”
But that’s what life’s about
That is what life’s about
