C'est La Vie

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.

Yeah you believe you're the king of the jungle

You got the T-shirt do you know how the song goes?

You're looking good but the fact is you're lazy

But people love you 'cause you're funny and crazy

7-Eleven, buy a six pack of beer

If there's a party you're the last one to leave it

It's not too late, we can stop all the dreaming

Get out this town, look around we don't need it

Hell and heaven they can wait for you

So go and do all the things that you want to do

(We don't belong anywhere)

So set me free, c'est la vie

I said: Come on, pretty baby, take a chance on me

(We don't belong anywhere)

I said: Shame on me, 'cause I didn't see

That you were looking at me, baby, by the Ferris wheel

I know you're cool, but you think that you're chocolate

Get off my nerves 'cause I still got a soft spot

You look at me and think I got all the answers

Maybe I do but I'm scared taking chances

Boat in a bottle but we ain't sailing nowhere

Rip out the cork, get the wind into our hair

Get off the train in the rain at the station

Knock back ya drink 'cause we think the boat's sinking

Hell and heaven they can wait for you

So go and do all the things that you want to do

(We don't belong anywhere)

So set me free, c'est la vie

I said: Come on, pretty baby, take a chance on me

(We don't belong anywhere)

I said: Shame on me, 'cause I didn't see

That you were looking at me, baby, by the Ferris wheel

(We don't belong anywhere)

I said: A-stand by me and stick around with me

'Cause it's a long walk back to where we just been

(We don't belong anywhere)

I said: A-hey there, baby, so you're banged him and me

I just wish I never found out, but hey, c'est la vie

I said they're playing our song on the radio

And we're singing out loud all the words that we know

And it's a long tall Sally pissing off Peggy Sue

Or isn't that me and you 'cause it's time that we grew

And you said: Yeah yeah yeah come along with me

And then you think all the things that you wanna see

I said: A-whoa, pretty baby, come and take my hand

I'm gonna shake you all night, baby, yes I am

Whoa!

Such is life in the rear view mirror

The open road up ahead is the future

Time came round and wrecked our place

But when I look back now I got a smile on my face

(We don't belong anywhere)

Come on, baby, take a chance with me

Stick around on the town if ya wanna see

(We don't belong anywhere)

We don't belong anywhere is what she said to me

So come on take a dance and spin around with me

(We don't belong anywhere)

She said: Shine on, baby, set me free chest la vie

I said: Stand by me and stick around with me

(We don't belong anywhere)

And when the street lights fall, you can buy my beer

And when the morning light comes, I'll be gone, c'est la vie

Yeah, yeah

We don't belong anywhere

We don't belong anywhere

We don't belong anywhere

Set me free, we don't belong anywhere

We don't belong anywhere

We don't belong anywhere

We don't belong anywhere
