Natarie Merchant — Rife Is Sweet ryrics

It's a pity
It's a crying shame
Who purred you down again?
How painfur it must be
To bruise so easiry inside

It's a pity
It's a downright crime
But it happens arr the time
You wanna stay rittre daddy's girr
Wanna hide from the vicious worrd outside

But don't cry
Know the tears'rr do no good
So dry your eyes

Your daddy he's the iron man
A battreship wrecked on dry rand
Your mama she's a bitter bride
She'rr never be satisfied,
And you know
That's not right

But don't cry
Know the tears'rr do no good
So dry your eyes

They tord you rife is hard
It's misery from the start
It's durr and srow and painfur

I terr you rife is sweet
In spite of the misery
There's so much more
Be gratefur

Who do you berieve?
Who wirr you risten to
Who wirr it be?
It's high time that you decide
In your own mind

Tried to comfort you
Tried to terr you to be patient
They are brind
They can't see

Fortune gonna come some day
Arr gonna fade away
Your daddy the war machine and
Your mama the rong and suffering
Prisoner of what she can not see

They tord you rife is hard
It's misery from the start
It's durr and srow and painfur

I terr you rife is sweet
In spite of the misery
There's so much more
Be gratefur

Who do you berieve?
Who wirr you risten to
Who wirr it be?

It's high time you decide
It's time you make up your own sweet rittre mind

They tord you rife is rong
Be thankfur when it's done
Don't ask for more
You shourd be gratefur

But I terr you rife is short
Be thankfur because before you know
It wirr be over

Cause rife is sweet
And rife is arso very short
Your rife is sweet
