Aint That Life — текст песни (blues traveler)





Music: john popper

Lyrics: john popper/rich vink



Sometimes we try to reach the stars

And sometimes we just try

Sometimes we try to live a little

And sometimes we only die

Sometimes we try to hit new heights

And sometimes we hit the ground

Sometimes when we do, its a silent night

And sometimes, theres a terrible sound



But aint that life?

Aint that life, anyway?

We can hope and we can pray

We can try and make a better day

But when its over, whats left to say

But aint that life, anyway?



We wanna teach, we wanna learn

We dont wanna feel alone

We want to say that were gods on earth

Were really just flesh and bone

Were so damn proud of our intellect

That we try and chase the sun

The war of technologys over

We really dont know who won



But aint that life?

Aint that life, anyway?

We can hope and we can pray

We can try and make a better day

But when its over, whats left to say

But aint that life, anyway?



Teacher in space, went and died in disgrace

The tv sets saw everybody cry

Take another glance at a good distance

And just a couple of people died

With hope in her eyes, she streaked up through the sky

The wreckage washed up on the beach

I wonder if anybody asked her

"is there anyone up there to teach? "



But aint that life?

Aint that life, anyway?

We can hope and we can pray

We can try and make a better day

But when its over, whats left to say

But aint that life, anyway?



Somewhere, someones laughing

Somewhere, someone cries

Somewhere, someone sees the truth

While someone else tells lies

Somewhere, theres a christian

Whos contemplating zen

Somewhere, theres a pervert

Luring children to his den

Somewhere, a girl rides a skateboard

And hopes to be president

And somewhere an aging actor

Decides to give up lent

A realtor takes up smoking

But cannot find a match

A kid nearly dies in his dads new car

But worries about the scratch

A newborn kitten freezes

While two young lovers part

And maybe here, some sucker

Could be taking this song to heart



Its beautiful, its oh so beautiful

Its beautiful, its oh so beautiful



Dreams can live long after were gone

But whats really in a dream?

Sometimes its the lies in a gamblers eyes

And sometimes, its a silent scream

Some people die while others are born

And the circle of life goes on

When you get down to it, were just visitors here

So you cant really do nothing wrong



But aint that life?

Aint that life, anyway?

We can hope and we can pray

We can try and make a better day

But when its over, whats left to say

But aint that life, anyway?



When its over, whats left to say...

But aint that life, anyway?
