Life, in A Nutshell
Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed RobertsonÂÂÂ
When she was three
Her barbies always did it on the first date
Now she's with me,
There's never any need for them to demonstrate
She's like a baby, I'm like a cat;
When we are happy, we both get fat and still
it's never enough, it's never enough,
it's never enough
Chorus:
But I don't tend to worry about the things that other people say,
And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
Call me crazy, but it really doesn't matter
All that matters to me is she
Her life, in a nutshell
No way would she want it to change me
it's not that easy 'cause
My time is often decided for me
For me
She memorized every pencil crayon colour in the box
Her blue-green eyes complement the burn sienna in her locks
She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;
When we're separated, we're never alone, but still
it's never enough, it's never enough,
No it's never enough
Chorus
I fell down
With no one there to catch me from falling
Then she came 'round
And only her tenderness stopped me from bawling my eyes out
I'm OK
And that's why
Her life, in a nutshell ...So you didn't want to listen?
You're gonna keep doin like you're doin?
Fine! Because of you, your insolence
Your incompetence, your being, because of you
EVERYONE DIES!
The world is full of pollution
We're ruining Mother Earth
We're liars, cheaters, decievers
We're burning up the truth
The world is in chaos
No one wants a planet of peace
So everyone will burn
When the world begins to cease
Because of you
Because of sin
Because of everyone
Because of you
Because you went
And killed the entire world
Because of you
All die
Everyone
All die
Everyplace
All die
Everything
All will die
The people are evil at heart
They're black in spirit and name
No one tries to piece together the parts
No one wants to make things sane
So when this world will end
Everybody shall be judged and then
People will see too late
That they're burning in hell in death
Because of you
Because of sin
Because of everyone
Because of you
Because you went
And killed the entire world
Because of you
All die
Everyone
All die
Everyplace
All die
Everything
All will die
All die
All die
All die
All die
All die
All die
All die
All will die
The world is in ruin
The people are runnin
From the lies they were formin
The truth is exposin
Every little sin
Every little word
Gluttony, greed, sloth
Envy, wrath, pride and lust
Everything
Is gone
And now
The end you will know
Because of you
All die
Everyone
All die
Everyplace
All die
Everything
All will die
Because of you
All die
Everyone
All die
Everyplace
All die
Everything
All will die
All die
All die
All die
All will die
Don't you wish you'd listened to me?
