lyrics

Bricks without straw
working for Pharaoh
much trabajo
poco dinero
life isn't short, it's long

There's no free lunch
and prices rise
earning less and less
the harder I try
life isn't short, it's long
life isn't short, it's long

If you walk out the door
you'd best be aware
it hurts to try, and it hurts to care
life isn't short, it's long

Find the pot of gold
as soon as you do
it moves far, far away from you
life isn't short, it's long
life isn't short, it's long

And it's all just the cost of living
so let's all just sing this song
Life isn't short it's very very very long

Get as much as you can
then give it away
go into debt
then somehow pay
life is not short, it's long

Pour it all in
none for yourself
most of it's covered in dust on the shelf
life is not short, it's long
life is not short, it's long
life is not short, it's long

Take a deep breath
you're gonna make it
put on a smile
it's okay if you fake it
life isn't short, it's long

Make sure that you laugh
cause you're gonna cry
when you do your best,
finish last, and sigh:
"Life isn't short, it's long,
Life isn't short, it's long."

And it's all just the cost of living
so let's all just sing this song
life is not short it's very very very long

And it's all just the cost of living
so let's all just sing this song
life is not short it's very very very long
life is not short it's very very very long
life is not short it's very
very very
very very
very very
very very
long
