Little old man contemplates suicide twice a day
Life's passed him by
Little old woman scared and blind, left alone in desparate times
Life's passed her by

Oh, life, it's misunderstood them, so they close their eyes and dream of better
Days
Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah
Life's not always fair, or so they say

Little boy with vacant eyes, daddy won't be home tonight
And he don't know why
His mother, she sits alone tangled in the web she's sewn
Lives lie to lie

Oh, life, it's misunderstood them, so they close their eyes and dream of better
Days
Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah
Life's not always fair, or so they say

Strangled, caged, left alone, doin' time in a broken home
Feelin' left to die
I'm a product of your troubled ways
You made me what I am today
Now you're asking why
Oh, life's misunderstood me, so I close my eyes and dream of better days
Oo, life's misunderstood me
Life's not always fair, life's not always fair or so they say
Or so they say
Restless soul deep inside searches for some piece of mind
Livin' just to die
I'm an angry man and I always have had to fight to survive my past
A sign of those times

Life, it's misunderstood me and I know you know that you've been there too
Time lets a restless soul fade away
Life's not always fair, life's not always fair, or so they say

Little boy with hopeful eyes, daddy's comin' home tonight
So don't you cry. So don't you cry
