Spite — текст песни (Rainmakers, The)

we`re all growed up
we`re all gone wild
we all been beat like a stepchild
I`d help you save the world
but I`m busy that day
one foot on the gas
and the other in the grave
in spite of everything
it`s pretty good to be alive

in spite of you in spite of me
in spite of everything
it`s pretty good to be alive

I seen dreams die
I seen folks hated
seen the devil`s slogans
spray-painted
seen figures of authority
saying bad is good
I seen the 6 o`clock news
in my own neighborhood
in spite of everything
it`s pretty good to be alive

Chorus

I been heartbroke
I been ball-busted
been short-changed
I been mistrusted
been slandered in the streets
libeled in the press
I been embarrassed
in the bedroom
buggered by the the best
in spite of everything
it`s pretty good to be alive

Chorus

there`s a camaflouged tank
sitting rusting in the dump
there`s a camel in the desert
with oil in his hump
the temperature`s rising
people hiding in the shade
the ice cap`s melting
we`re making lemonade
in spite of everything
it`s pretty good to be alive

Chorus
