lyrics

Life Just Isn't Fair

there’s a teddy bear sitting on the back porch
of an old abandoned house just down the way
he stares so wistful at the overgrown back yard
day after day after day
this little bear, you see, is oh so sad
cause the child who used to play with him is gone
the daytimes are lonely, and the nighttimes are cold
he shivers on the porch from dusk till dawn

cause life just isn’t fair
you can squawk about your problems
but won’t nobody care
every now and then you catch a break
but that’s so rare
the simple fact is
life just isn’t fair

now the teddy bear tries to be brave
tells himself the child is coming back for sure
cause without that kinda thinking, without that kinda faith
life would be too much to endure
cause hope is a powerful engine
hope is everything don’t you see
hope is what keeps that little bear hanging on
ain’t that the same way my friend for you and me?

cause life just isn’t fair
you can squawk about your problems
but won’t nobody care
every now and then you catch a break
but that’s so rare
the simple fact is
life just isn’t fair
you know it's true

life isn’t fair
that's all you can say
those happy Hollywood endings
real life doesn’t work that way
cause life, life just isn’t fair
it isn't fair
