A true rock-a-pop anthem! Great lyrics and a self assembled gospel choir bring this stonker of a tune to a big finish!

Lyrics
Lisa got up every dreary morning And hit the gym to stop the yawning (well) Before she headed into work Had a good job a€“ more than covered the bills And bought her anything to cure her ills All to avoid a sleeping hurt The past maybe lying in a silent slumber But it will always still have your number And things have a habit of coming around Being 40 and alone werena€™t part of the plan But she cana€™t seem to hold to any man And so in her house her voice and the TV are the only sounds Is this what she wants? Is this what she needs? Money can only provide the pretty thingsa€¦ Its not a perfect world Therea€™s green beyond the guild Ita€™s not a perfect world Especially if you dona€™t have the will Ita€™s not a perfect world David was a legal eagle You paid him money to make him believable And sure hea€™d win his case He spent his time living work Its and easy way to avoid any hurt If you avoid every single attractive face But knocking back drinks after work Social evenings where they all network And have another glass of the same And just across the bar he locked eyes With the one he always considered a prize But for whom an hour here and there just werena€™t enough So now that ita€™s over But they still love each other It werena€™t part of the career plan To be in love with another mana€¦ Ita€™s not a perfect world Therea€™s green beyond the guild Ita€™s not a perfect world Especially if you dona€™t have the will Ita€™s not a perfect world Therea€™s green beyond the guild Ita€™s not a perfect world Especially if you dona€™t have the will Ita€™s not a perfect worlda€¦ Ita€™s not a perfect worlda€¦. Ita€™s not a perfect world Therea€™s green beyond the guild Ita€™s not a perfect world And we just sit back and watch it unfurl Ita€™s not a perfect world Therea€™s green beyond the guild Ita€™s not a perfect world We sit back and watch it unfurl Ita€™s not a perfect worlda€¦
