Janis Ian — Life Is Never Wrong

[Verse 1] Feast or famine, God or Mammon Priest or shaman—opposites attract Saints and sinners, losers, winners Rank beginners—there's no going back My old man was a dreamer Dreamed his life away Sometimes dreams are realer Than the roles we play Daddy used to say— [Chorus] Don't walk another man's path You don't sing another man's song And you don't pay the whores of Babylon Road is never straight The way is always long But one thing I can say before I'm gone— Life is never wrong [Verse 2] People usеd to laugh and say "You never ought to make thе truth your bride Marry money, fill your tummy Only junkies live to get that high" My first love was Beauty She tried so hard to please And then she introduced me to the Beast Knocked me to my knees [Chorus] Don't walk another man's path You don't sing another man's song You don't pay the whores of Babylon The road is never straight The way is always long But one thing I can say before I'm gone— Life is never wrong [Bridge] Hold your head up high, no matter what the weight Look life in the eye, don't hesitate Life won't wait [Chorus] You don't walk another man's path You don't sing another man's song You don't pay the whores of Babylon Road is never straight The way is always long But one thing I can say before I'm gone— Life is never wrong
