Little old man contemplates

Suicide twice a day

Life's passed him by

Little old woman scared and blind

Left alone in desparate times

Life's passed her by

Oh, life it's misunderstood them

So they close their eyes

And dream of better days

Oh, life it's misunderstood, yeah

Life's not always fair or so they say



Little boy with vacant eyes

Daddy won't be home tonight

And he don't know why

His mother, she sits alone

Tangled in the web she's sewn

She lives lie to lie



Oh, life it's misunderstood them

So they close their eyes

And dream of better days

Oh, life it's misunderstood

Life's not always fair or so they say



Strangled, caged and left alone

Doin' time in a broken home

Feelin left to die

I'm a product of your troubled ways

You made me what I am today

Now you're askin why



Oh, life's misunderstood me

So I close my eyes

And dream of better days

Ooh, life's misunderstood me

Life's not always fair

Life's not always fair or so they say



Restless soul, deep inside

I'm searchin for some piece of mind

Livin just to die

I'm an angry man and I always have

Had to fight to survive my past

Sign of those times



Life it's misunderstood me

And I know...know that you've been there too

Time, lets a restless soul fade away

Life's not always fair

Life's not always fair

Or so they say



Yeah, life it's misunderstood me

So I close my eyes

And dream of a better day

Oh, life's misunderstood me

Life's not always fair

Life's not always fair

Or so they say



Little boy with hopeful eyes

Daddy's
