C'est La Vie

There's a dignity in calloused hands

The tools you have are not for sale

But sometimes you're the hammer

And sometimes

You're the nail

It's not about how you get lost

It's what you do to find the trail

Well sometimes you're Ahab

And sometimes

You're the whale

Doo-doo-doo bah

Doo-doo-doo bah

Doo-doo-doo bah

When frogs are falling from the sky

Just take responsibility

But sometimes you're the prisoner

And sometimes

You're the free

Just let your conscience be your guide

Then heartbreak hits you, c'est la vie

Well sometimes you're the Shih Tzu

And sometimes

You're the tree

Doo-doo-doo bah

Doo-doo-doo bah, that's right

Doo-doo-doo bah

Sometimes you're the river

Sometimes you're the sea

Sometimes you're a stranger to yourself, it's a dangerous place to be

But you'll be fine

Just remember where you come from

How you got the song

Then you'll always get it right more than you get it wrong

We're with you in the mirror

We're right down to the bone
