Story behind the song
A tale of the wearying existence of most men (and women).
Lyrics
LIFE IS SO DAILY You work hard all day just to earn your pay; Then the tax man comes, takes it all away. Boss is a joke snake – he’s a real charmer; Gives you a smoke break – a three alarmer. Nothing left to do but break into song, Nothing left to do but break into song. Life is so daily, I just can’t stand it; Sure didn’t turn out the way I planned it; Kidnapped at birth by Mexican bandits. First they fueled the fire, and then they fanned it; Guess they cooked my goose, and then they canned it. Life is so daily, I just can’t stand it. You try to drive home – same as the A.M. VASCAR meets NASCAR – motorized mayhem. Your wife is there to greet you at the door: Says, “Welcome home. I don’t need you any more.” You begin to sing, though you know it’s wrong, You begin to sing, though you know it’s wrong. Life is so daily, I just can’t stand it; Sure didn’t turn out the way I planned it; Kidnapped at birth by Mexican bandits. First they fueled the fire, and then they fanned it; Guess they cooked my goose, and then they canned it. Life is so daily, I just can’t stand it. You will start over, find someone to love; Have some new children, more gifts from above. Find out about drugs, sex, and alcohol; Find out your kids already know it all. Some day soon, they will be singing along, Some day soon, they will be singing along. Life is so daily, I just can’t stand it; Sure didn’t turn out the way I planned it; Kidnapped at birth by Mexican bandits. First they fueled the fire, and then they fanned it; Guess they cooked my goose, and then they canned it. Life is so daily, I just can’t stand it. Copyright © 2002 Lex Zaleta
