lyrics

SHIT HAPPENS
(e. fischer)

when the weapons of choice
are murder ballads
that stink of expensive
perfume and lies
then every story has already been told

things are as awful
as they’ve every been
intrepid hopefuls
along for the ride
before the sidewalks got too crowded to drown

shit happens
in the promised land
shit happens
in the promised land
shit happens
in the schoolyard of the poor

at the top of the hill
sour satisfaction
where mansions sing
and flowers sigh

betrayal tastes of sugar and spice

come join the stroll
even bastards have friends
you’re innocent
until proven broke
things go wrong and no one’s to blame

with the guttering flame
of desperation
improvise your
way through life
i’ve been there many times

there is no point to know
there are no plans you can make
impassive tourist
of bottomless mines
that’s what becomes of the broken hearted
