We told you so
words Leonard Cohen, music Lewis Furey
(Angels) We told you so
We told you dear
You didn't have
To come here
The human life
Is full of quirks
We can't work it out
Nothing works
It's a lemon
This mechanic
Live, love, suffer
Die and panic
It lives, it loves
Suffers and dies
It eats cow's meat
And apple pies
Dumb, dumb, dumb
And full of fear
Anxiety and strife..
This is the human life!
...We have many duties still
Much gold and silver light to spill
On anxious boys and frightened girls like you...
