[Verse 1]
Little old man contemplates suicide twice a day
Life's passed him by
Little old woman scared and blind, left alone in desperate times
Life's passed her by
[Chorus]
Oh, life, it's misunderstood them, so they close their eyes and dream of better
Days
Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah
Life's not always fair, or so they say
[Verse 2]
Little boy with vacant eyes, daddy won't be home tonight
And he don't know why
His mother, she sits alone tangled in the web she's sewn
Lives lie to lie
[Chorus]
Oh, life, it's misunderstood them, so they close their eyes and dream of better
Days
Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah
Life's not always fair, or so they say
[Verse 3]
Strangled, caged, left alone, doing time in a broken home
Feeling left to die
I'm a product of your troubled ways
You made me what I am today
Now you're asking why
[Chorus]
Oh, life's misunderstood me, so I close my eyes and dream of better days
Oo, life's misunderstood me
Life's not always fair, life's not always fair or so they say
Or so they say
[Verse 4]
Restless soul deep inside searches for some piece of mind
Living just to die
I'm an angry man and I always have had to fight to survive my past
A sign of those times
[Chorus]
Life, it's misunderstood me and I know you know that you've been there too
Time lets a restless soul fade away
Life's not always fair, life's not always fair, or so they say
[Outro]
Little boy with hopeful eyes, daddy's coming home tonight
So don't you cry. So don't you cry
So don't you cry. So don't you cry
