Violent Femmes
Life Is a Scream
[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
She said to me "Oh, I don't know what you mean"
All I'm tryna to do is
Try to make your scene
I said to her "No way, baby, life ain't what it seem"
Well don't you know, baby, that life is a scream (Ahhh)

[Break]
One, two
One, two, three, four

[Verse 2]
She came up to me in her high fashion and sheen
Well don't you know that she was tryna come clean
I said to her "No way, baby, life ain't what it seem"
Well don't you know, baby, that life is a scream (Ahhh)

[Break]
One, two
One, two, three, four

[Verse 3]
She said to me "Oh, I love it when you're mean"
Don't you know it's boring when it's quiet and serene
I said to her "No way, baby, life ain't what it seem"
[Outro]
Got to get it through your head that life is a scream (Ahhh)
