Life, It's a Shame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't stop out too late at night
Stop! It's a caution
Don't cross the red light
Stop! It's a caution
To act for the good for congressman is money
A balance of power will ensure our safety
(Making money is making sense)
Life!
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
Don't stop out too late at night
Stop! It's a caution
Don't cross the red light
Stop! It's a caution
To act for the good for congressman is money
The right to get rich is in the constitution
Talk of corruption is to preach insurrection
Elected to power men suspend self-interest
You and I, we are satellites, it's a shame
You and I, we are satellites, it's a shame
Life!
(Making money is making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
Life!
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
To act for the good is to defend our homeland
A balance of power will ensure our safety
To step out of line is to risk disaster
To walk in the rain is to risk pneumonia
A balance of power will ensure our safety
You and I, we are satellites
(Making money is making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
You and I, we are satellites
(Making money is making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
Life!
(Making money is making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
Life!
(Making money is making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
It's a shame
(It's logical, making sense)
(Making money is making sense)
