about

Minor ailments & maintenance of age, and being pretty.
Lyrics by Randall Brown and Tory Lee Flenniken

lyrics

I had inverted papilloma
So they put me in a coma
Just for an hour or so
Got a discount price
Now the Bird of Paradise
Can fly right up my nose

Chronic gastritis
And a touch of arthritis
Can be a real pain in the neck
But there ain't no trouble
When you're sipping on a double
Out on the Lido deck

Life’s not pretty, but we can be
Oh yeah

Ocular migraine
Flashing on my brain
Signals time to lay back
Rainbow lightning
Very, very frightening
First time it gives you a whack

Life’s not pretty
but we can be, oh yeah
Life’s not pretty
but we can be, oh yeah

<lead guitar>

Nobody knows how long it will last
It's always the future, it's always the past
First you’re born, then every day's less
How your reach the finish is anybody’s guess
Mofo knock you on your knees
Kick him in the balls, life is a breeze
Life’s not pretty but there’s you and me
Life’s not pretty but we can be

Life's not pretty
But we can be, oh yeah
Life's not pretty
But we can be, oh yeah
Life's not pretty
But we can be, oh yeah
Life's not pretty
But we can be, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah etc.
