The Rainmakers - Spite lyrics

we're all growed up we're all gone wild we all been beat like a stepchild I'd help you save the world but I'm busy that day one foot on the gas and the other in the grave in spite of everything it's pretty good to be alive in spite of you in spite of me in spite of everything it's pretty good to be alive I seen dreams die I seen folks hated seen the devil's slogans spray-painted seen figures of authority saying bad is good I seen the 6 o'clock news in my own neighborhood in spite of everything it's pretty good to be alive Chorus I been heartbroke I been ball-busted been short-changed I been mistrusted been slandered in the streets libeled in the press I been embarra**ed in the bedroom buggered by the the best in spite of everything it's pretty good to be alive Chorus there's a camaflouged tank sitting rusting in the dump there's a camel in the desert with oil in his hump the temperature's rising people hiding in the shade the ice cap's melting we're making lemonade in spite of everything it's pretty good to be alive Chorus Lyrics by Bob Walkenhorst ' 1994 Bob Walkenhorst Music BMI
