C'est la vie - Magna Carta

Man gets born

into the world

spends his whole time

lookin' for a girl

he wants to get married

take himself a wife

you can hear him say on his wedding day

all that trouble and strife cuts you like a knife

buys himself a home

four square walls

he wants to call his own

he gets himself a mortgage

and lots of trouble and strife

you can hear him say, everyday

That trouble and strife cuts you like a knife

He goes to work each day on the crowded factory floor

just to keep his wife in style like the folks that live next door

he comes home at half past six,

he can’t take nomore

what’s he doing it for?

Man grows old

leaving behind

his good woman to cry

she looks after his children

like the faithful wife

you can hear her say now her man’s away

all that trouble and strife cuts you like a knife
