Like Comedy - The Proclaimers

You were built to last a lifetime

Just not the life that you live

You don’t have to make it worse

'Cause the world isn’t perfect

And you don’t need to give a toss

But you’d make it better if you did

You did, you did, you did

You were made to be loving

Not a source of bitterness and hate

And when you turn them on yourself

You make one more useless martyr

Make the best of here and now

Heaven or hell can wait

They’ll wait, they’ll wait, let them wait

When you lose your appetite for self-destruction

You can stop viewing life as tragedy

Give it a few more years and look from this angle

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy

Oh, you were made to be happy

Not mired in sorrow and regret

Misery comes around enough

You don’t need to invite him

And when he leaves you should grab

All the joy you can get

You can get, you can get, you can get

When you lose your appetite for self-destruction

You can stop viewing life as tragedy

Give it a few more years and look from this angle

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy

Where it looks more and more and more like comedy

Like comedy
