Diesel Park West - The Price Of Life lyrics

Mama was a drinker, daddy was a thinker They both did it to excess Until they got busted by the brain police On patrol inside their heads The offspring, they did okay Both loving and dependable But the girl and boy knew deeper inside There was something they hadn't been told About the price of life The real cost of things When a moment's pleasure they took When defenses are down Yeah, the price of life looks good I'm sitting in the park on top of the world Wondering how it all gets twisted But it's gonna get better now the famine's over I read that in this paper But that's the price of life Yeah, the real cost of things When a moment's pleasure you took And defenses are down Yeah, the price of life looks good I wake up in the morning as an optimist And Mother Nature still has her rhythm But on closer inspection it doesn't look so good I guess there's something important missing And that's the price of life Yeah, the cost of things When a moment's pleasure you took When defenses are down Oh, the price of life looks good You've got to do what's expected of you If just for the sake of the rest I know sometimes being mean and cruel Seem the things you do the best And that's the price of life Yeah, the impossible things When a moment's pleasure you took When defenses are down Oh, the price of life looks good Oh, oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
