Lyrics

WHAT THE FAT LADY SINGS ABOUT

I love you because you?re so innocent
in fact, you?re almost a fool
you get angry cause you can?t see the sense in it
it all seems so pointlessly cruel
when I say fair has nothing to do with it
you say the truth is that I'm just afraid
but I know that you're gonna get used to it
because cowards aren't born, they're made
and a coward's just someone who's learned when to move
who's already been burnt and has nothing to prove
who knows to be quick once the play has been played
who takes his best lick and keeps his bets laid
because luck is what the fat lady sings about
when she finallly takes the stage
it ain't over til it's ove the catcher shouts
as he places his face in the cage

you never know what will become of it
no matter how hard you strive
she sings what she sings and when she's done with it
not all of her fans will survive
did you think you were born in some fairytale
where the monsters are all well behaved
here the good and the bad suffer equally
and the children are not always saved
you don't have to like it, you just have to endure
it don't help to be strong, it don't help to be pure
but you might want to laugh until your vision is blurred
for the divine sense of humor is totally obscure
and luck is what the fat lady sings about
when she finally makes the scene
we wake up to see what she brings about
