**[Verse 1]** They say you'll make it if you want it bad, Even if it kills you, chase what you never had. “Give it a go!” — yeah, give it a try, Just buy the story, baby, swallow the lie. Manifestation — nothing came, Prayers went up and died the same. Reality's waiting with a fist in the face, Welcome to the human race. **[Pre-Chorus — building]** I don't wanna be a know-it-all, I don't wanna kill your little dream... **BUT—** **[Chorus — loud / distorted]** What I'm waiting for won't come, What I want won't happen. The one I love won't love me back, And that's what I call **LIFE!** Dreams don't come true, Hope falls flat. Someone comes along And crushes you like that. That's what I call— That's what I call— **LIFE!** **[Post-Chorus — shouted / chopped]** L-I-F-E! Life! Life! Life! You call it fate— I call it life! **[Verse 2]** They tell you every door will open, Every failure leaves you stronger. Keep on running, keep believing, Funny how the years keep leaving. Some get lucky, some get rich, Some get everything they wished. Some keep waiting at the door, Wondering what they waited for. **[Pre-Chorus — tension rising]** I don't wanna be a know-it-all, I don't wanna dampen your enthusiasm... **BUT—** **[Chorus — heavier]** What I'm waiting for won't come, What I want won't happen. The one I love won't love me back, And that's what I call **LIFE!** Dreams don't come true, Hope falls flat. Someone comes along And crushes you like that. That's what I call— That's what I call— **LIFE!** **[Bridge — mechanical / spoken]** Keep trying. Keep praying. Keep manifesting. Keep smiling. If it doesn't work— Try harder. If it still doesn't work— Try again. If you finally break— Well... **That's life.** **[Final Chorus — full noise]** What I'm waiting for won't come! What I want won't happen! The one I love won't love me back! **THAT'S LIFE!** Dreams don't come true! Hope falls flat! Someone comes along— **CRUSH!** And that's what you call life! **[Outro — distorted chant]** That's what you call life. That's what you call life. That's what you call— **LIFE!**
