Analysis of Life's a bitch
Life's a bitch
as the world gets dark
can't walk the street
kids can't play in the park
Shops being robbed
a street fight
drugs galore
the devils delight
No signs of dignity
no self respect anywhere
a broken world
in disrepair
Hurt and hunger
on the side street
tents and rubbish
smelling in the heat
Life has no prejudice
in this cruel game
where is the heart
where lies the blame
