Keep the rythym

Who says who loves or cries?
Who says who lives or dies?
Our past is just a guide
The future likes to hide

We can sing we can whistle
Chew on life like it is gristle
But the song will sound the same
So why the hell play it again.

Life will trip the unexpected
Leave you flat and then rejected
But you have to keep the rhythym
Or you're living in a prison.

People try to break your heart
If they love you from the start
Keep yourself a little distance
So you recognise resistance

Fly your kite when winds are strong
Don't kid yourself that you belong
Ignore the headlines in the paper
If it's true you'll see it later

Life will trip the unexpected
Leave you flat and then rejected
But you have to keep the rhythym
Or you're living in a prison.
