Ironic
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic, don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damned life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice"
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
('And
then meeting his beautiful
husband' on the acoustic Album version)
And isn't it ironic, don't you think
A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
You're stuck in the mall evnthough you've already paid,
You're the last to leave when you're the first to say goodbye.
An empty bottle when you're damn thirsty,
And your phone gone hay wired just when you needed to call.
Isn't it ironic..don't you think..
A little too ironic..oh i really do think.
I don't reali wanna say no more..
too tired to pissed to say anything..
too tired..too pissed..too tired..too pissed..
my eyes squinting, my head is spinning..
i want sleep..i want rest..
i need sleep..i need rest..
wanna smile a sad smile and say that it's damn alrite..
that it's all in a days work..
the sun is down the moon is up..
soon it will be another day..a brand new day..
with brand new problems with brand new solutions..
i need sleep i need rest..
want a smile of my face before i lay myself to sleep..
i want sleep i want rest..
It's okay..it's damn alrite..
so goodnite...goodnite..
