Life Ain't Fair

Down on the midway The sideshow barkers say "Step right up, y'all, I got a game you can't lose" There's a sucker born every minute Long as the wheel keep on spinnin' And one day, the hand of fate gonna land right on you 'Cause life is like a carnival ride And you're watchin' the ground disappear And you're sayin', "Won't you stop this train and let me off right here?" And when everything is upside down It won't do you no good to despair Just remember, we're all goin' 'round together at the life ain't fair Like the red ball in a game of cups That moves every time you lift one up Lookin' for love, you chose the wrong one again They'll fool you once, fool you twice You rolled a fool's pair of dice And what you thought was gold is just an old piece of tin 'Cause life is like a carnival ride And you're watchin' the ground disappear And you're sayin', "Won't you stop this train and let me off right here?" When everything is upside down It won't do you no good to despair Just remember, we're all goin' 'round together at the life ain't fair Just like a funhouse mirror In a blur goes one more year And time is one thing your money can't buy So take your place in the freak show Let go of things beyond your control And enjoy the view from that big wheel in the sky 'Cause life is like a carnival ride And you're watchin' the ground disappear And you're sayin', "Won't you stop this train and let me off right here?" And when everything is upside down It won't do you no good to despair Just remember, we're all goin' 'round together at the life ain't fair Yeah, we've all got our tickets to the life ain't fair 'Cause there's something for everyone at the life ain't fair --- Life Ain't Fair - Midland
