PRETTY THING:      All these people hanging round   Waiting for the world to change   All this pressure coming down   Life is not a pretty thing   Standing in the pouring rain   Lonely eyes and soaking skin   Wishing it was yesterday   I say life is not a pretty thing   Trying hard to make it work   Losing all my faith in God   Shaking hands shaking heads      Why, please tell me why   Is all this sorrow and suffering   Still going on   All they ever wanted was a chance to live   Sometimes I just wonder   Can they forgive, how can they still forgive      All these people running scared   Seen so many times before   Life is something to be shared   Life is not a pretty thing   I can't see the sense in this   Where has all the feeling gone      Woke up this morning with a pain in my head   Tried to work it out but I went back to bed   This ain't the way that it's supposed to be   This is not the day   This is not me      Half my life is wasted the rest does not exist   They're writing to papers   They're making out lists   Searching for reasons why everythings a mess   Why we sit and take it is anybodys guess      And oh, life is not a pretty thing   Life is not pretty, pretty   Life is not a pretty thing   Pretty thing   Pretty thing   When you're shaking hands and breaking heads
