Verse 1
We try to live our lives the best we can
We hope that luck is somewhere close at hand
Trying hard to learn a thing or two
But we’re choking smoking living in this zoo
Chorus
Oh Life why do you treat me like you do
Oh Life why do you treat me like you do
Verse 2
The simple pleasures life tosses our way
Are cast aside and fade like dreams away
It’s not as if we have the time to waste
The jobs too long and life’s too short make haste
Chorus
Oh Life why do you treat me like you do
Oh Life why do you treat me like you do
Bridge
I can’t exist without control Give me freedom
Solo
Verse 3
Always talkin’bout our human rights
Don’t keep you warm on cold dark nights
Another body sharing your distress
Is worth the trouble that it takes to dress
Chorus Out
