Ain't It the Life (1999-11-23: Barrowlands, Glasgow, UK) Songtext
von Foo Fighters

Dear Hailey, can you save me from
The borrowed cloud I′m on?
All you gotta do is try
Pray you're just getting by
Hey, wait, I thought you′d made it
How'd your bottled crown fall off?
Tell me, how'd you get so tired
Faded down to the wire?

Try livin′ a lie
And kickin′ out the same old guise
Wasting time

So very ordinary
Wait until my bomb goes off
See the actors run and hide
Fake it all in stride?
One day, we all can say we're gone
And haunt the ground we′re from
Everything's so open wide
Here, within the divide


Try livin′ a lie
And kickin' out the same old guise
Wasting time

Ain′t it the life? Ain't it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain′t it the life? Ain′t it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain′t it the life?

Just sail on by

Try livin' a lie
And kickin′ out the same old guise
Wasting time

Ain't it the life? Ain′t it the life?
Ain't it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by
Ain't it the life? Ain′t it the life?
Ain′t it the life? Got no crime
Just sail on by, sail on by

Ain't it the life?
Ain′t it the life?
