[Verse 1]
Here you see me walking through this goo
Where there’s only room for the toughest one
They stab you with the law of the funnel:
"The wide for them and the narrow for you"
[Verse 2]
On TV, a guy complains that the world is hostile
And that he’s going on a peace mission with a rifle
Because he earns four bucks as a builder
While the diva’s dog on the show earns a thousand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And he didn’t seem to be lying
[Verse 3]
The one who searches and doesn’t find goes crazy
And the one who’s not lost always has GPS
There’s no way to handle this dyslexia
God gives bread to those who have anorexia
[Verse 4]
You want love and the other just wants a touch and go
Luck says goodbye when you say hello
It looks like a reality show
Darker than a story by Allan Poe
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I’m not doing any more favors
[Chorus]
What an ungrateful life! Everything I tie, fate unties
What an ungrateful life! That hits you from behind
What an ungrateful life! When I’m winning, it ties me in the final hour
What an ungrateful life! It always takes what it gives
[Verse 5]
You barely shine, and your shine blinds you
Hands age, but the rings don’t
What an unfair rule!
The one you like doesn’t want you, and the one who wants you, you don’t like
[Verse 6]
You freeze while others go to the sauna
Your boyfriend left after you cured his trauma
They slap you when you’re on your knees
Life doesn’t smile at you, even if you tickle it
[Pre-Chorus 3]
And everything tends to get worse
[Chorus]
What an ungrateful life! You win the lottery the day you kick the bucket
What an ungrateful life! It hits you from behind
What an ungrateful life! You’re left with one shot, and it backfires
What an ungrateful life! It always takes what it gives
[Solo]
[Verse 7]
And that amnesia hits me when something good needs to be remembered
Bad memories are always the ones that last longer
And there’s no compassion, if I don’t want it, there’s two
And when I really need it, it’s sure to be over
[Bridge]
What an ungrateful life!
What an ungrateful life! It always takes what it gives
[Chorus]
What an ungrateful life! Everything I tie, fate unties
What an ungrateful life! It hits you from behind
What an ungrateful life! When I’m winning, it ties me in the final hour
What an ungrateful life! It always takes what it gives
