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      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      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   She lives lie to lie      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      Strangled, caged, left alone, doin' time in a broken home   Feelin' left to die   I'm a product of your troubled ways, you made me what I am today   Now you're asking why      Oh, life's misunderstood me   So I close my eyes and dream of better days, yeah yeah   Ooo, life's misunderstood me   Life's not always fair, life's not always fair or so they say      Restless soul deep inside I'm searchin' for some piece of mind   Livin' just to die   I'm an angry man and I always have, had to fight to survive my past   A sign of those times      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, yeah      Little boy with hopeful eyes, daddy's comin' home tonight   So don't you cry   So don't you cry   So don't you cry   So don't you cry
