[Verse 1]
In the nighttime I watch the day's events on my T.V. set
I spent my whole life watching images that come made of shit
Eighty-eight killed in a wreck on all the channels and all the presets
Is there a way out or maybe something else on?

[Chorus]
Ain't that life, ain't it always the same thing on every night?
Ain't it pretty how life looks on the other side?
I don't care quite like I should, I've seen the same show all my life
Is it eight o'clock? I think there's something else on

[Verse 2]
But a familiar tone and a deadly scene come into view
I've seen the light fade in a stranger's eyes
And heard her last breath on cold lips
Death on board a smoking car, a dying wife in my heart
Is it eight o'clock? I think there's something else on

[Chorus]
Ain't that life, ain't it always the same thing on every night?
Ain't it pretty how life looks on the other side?
I don't care quite like I should, I've seen the same show all my life
Is it eight o'clock? I think there's something else on
Hey

[Chorus]
Ain't that life, ain't it always the same thing on every night?
Ain't it pretty how life looks on the other side?
I don't care quite like I should, I've seen the same show all my life
Is it eight o'clock? I think there's something else on
Alright
