Pretty Thing - Aslan

All these people hanging round

Waiting for the world to change

All this, all this pressure coming down

Life is not

Such a pretty thing

All these people hanging 'round

Waiting for the world to change

All this pressure coming down

Life is not a pretty thing

Standing in the pouring rain

Lonely eyes and soaking skin

Wishing it was yesterday

Life is not a pretty thing

But I’m trying hard

To make it work

Losing all my faith in God

Shaking hands, shaking heads

Why, please tell me why

Is all this sorrow and suffering still going on?

All they ever wanted was a chance to live

Sometimes I just wonder

How can they still forgive?

How can they still forgive?

All these people running scared

Seen so many times before

Life is something to be shared

Life is not a pretty thing

I can’t see the sense in this

Where has all the feeling gone?

The feeling’s gone

And I’m wishing it was yesterday

Where has all the feeling

Where has all the feeling gone?

Why, please tell me why

Is all this sorrow and suffering still going on?

All they ever wanted was a chance to live

Sometimes I just wonder

How can they still forgive?

Well, I woke up this morning with a pain in my head

Tried to work it out but I went back to bed

This is not the way that it’s supposed to be

This is not today, this is not me

And half your life is wasted, the rest does not exist

Writing to papers and making a list

Searching for reasons why everything’s a mess

Why we sit and take it, is anybody’s guess

And oh, life is not a pretty thing

Life is not pretty, pretty

Life is not pretty

Life is not a pretty thing, pretty thing

Life is not pretty, pretty

Shaking hands, breaking heads
