Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning, spinning
Devil keeps grinning, grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning, spinning
Devil keeps grinning, grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star

Sisyphus I feel you boy
Roll roll rolling that rock all day
No one lends a hand along the way
They just smile and say
"See you soon, see you soon, see you soon
See you when the war is over
See you when this gravity stops pulling me around
When I get my feet up off the ground
Finally lay this burden down
I'll come running"

And ooh, ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning, spinning
Devil keeps grinning, grinning
Thinking about all my sinning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Every star is a sun
Every son is in the shadow of the father now
But you, oh you'll
Never be lonely
Never blue
Ooh never be lonely
Never blue

There's poetry in sickness
Life is beautiful and cruel
That's just the way it is
And I can sleep but I can't rest
They say the old songs are the best
And I am still a young man

Ooh ooh it's a funny old life
Bottle keeps spinning spinning
Devil keeps grinning grinning
Thinking about a war he's winning
Ooh ooh everybody is a star
Everybody is a star . . . look it up
