La Vida No Es Na

Nine in the morning, it’s dead quiet
She’s sitting there, the radio’s playing
Knitting a scarf in a hopeful hue
Gets a letter she’s been waiting for
A siren wails and a curfew’s called
A crackdown’s coming down on the town
Chaos in the streets, the doors swing wide
Just like my grandma used to say

Life ain't nothing
Life ain't nothing, kiddo
Life ain't nothing

Nine at night, drinks and excess
He’s driving down the highway to the south
His wife and kid are riding along
And he’s yelling at the bus driver
A siren wails and a curfew’s called
A crackdown’s coming down on the town
Chaos in the streets, the doors swing wide
Just like my grandma used to say

Life ain't nothing
Life ain't nothing, kiddo
Life ain't nothing

It’s time running out
And we don’t even notice
Life’s a wheel
That never stops turning

Life ain't nothing
Life ain't nothing, kiddo
Life ain't nothing

You know, that’s just how life is...

Queen mother of the vastness
Sometimes it takes away, sometimes it gives

This life’s a roulette
Don’t forget to pack love in your bag

Queen mother of the vastness
Sometimes it takes away, sometimes it gives

This life is way too short
Enjoy now, nothing else matters

Queen mother of the vastness
Sometimes it takes away, sometimes it gives

Life, dear, is freedom

Queen mother of the vastness
Sometimes it takes away, sometimes it gives
