Seems as though i've lived my life on the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs, and sittin' still, without a rustic spoon
Now come on people, live with me, where the light has never shone
And the harlots flock like hummingbirds, speakin' in a foreign tongue

This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life

It seems as though i've lived my life on the bad side of the moon
To stir your dregs, and sittin' still, without a rustic spoon
Now come on people, live with me, where the light has never shone
And the harlots flock like hummingbirds, speakin' in a foreign tongue
I'm a light world away, from the people who make me stay
Sittin' on the bad side of the moon

This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life

There ain't no need for watchdogs here, to justify our ways
We lived our lives in manacles, the main cause of our stay
And exiled here from other worlds, my sentence comes to soon
Why should i be made to pay on the bad side of the moon
I'm a light world away, from the people who make me stay
Sittin' on the bad side of the moon

This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my life
This is my life, this is my life, this is my life, my li
