Sing Your Life

Sing your life
Any fool can think up words that rhyme
Many others do
Why don't you?

Sing your life
Just walk right up to the microphone
and name
All the things that you love
All the things that you loath
Sing your life

Others sang your life
But now's your chance to shine
And have the pleasure of
saying what you mean
The rare pleasure of
meaning what you sing

Oh, make no mistake, my friend,
All of this will end
So sing it now
All the things you love
All the things you loathe

Don't leave it all unsaid
Somewhere in the wasteland of your head
And make no mistake, my friend,
Your pointless life will end
But before you go
Can you look at the truth?

You have a lovely singing voice
A lovely singing voice
And all of those
who sing on key
They stole the notion
From you and me.

--"Sing Your Life" - Morrissey
