Long Life Songtext
von Dodgy

Jack you′ve been spreading wrong for so long now I'm so tired
The only thing you can go and do is get yourself fired
And with your paycheck just like the last one
When tonight′s through it'll be gone and so will I

This has been a long life, mine is nearly through
I've had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you

Tell me am I dreaming as I look around
We can′t afford a decent life for those with their feet on the ground

I feel it my duty to try and pass it on
This wisdom I′ve acquired

I understand the nature of life
As well as any soul left living
As well as any man still alive

He said there's an answer in a hundred years or two
Came in a dream one night, wisdom only comes to a few

This has been a long life, mine is nearly through
And if I had my time again I′d spend it all with you


I feel it my duty to try and pass it on
This wisdom I've acquired

I understand the nature of life
As well as any soul left living
As well as any man still alive

Dreams exist in dreamland, my passion fails to show
My eyes no longer sparkle, desire begins to slow
Comfort and peace is beyond my imagination
A short life they demand for little appreciation

It′s all well and good when it's understood
We can beat them if we try

It′s all well and good when it's understood
We can beat them if we try

If we try

This has been a long life, mine is nearly through
I've had a lot of time to think now I must speak to you

This has been a long life, mine is nearly through
If I had my time again I′d spend it all with you

Everyone will be together
To hear the words of the wise
