An old man worked hard his whole life
Saving money and died before he retired
It’s an ex wife who caused his mother to hate
It’s a meeting that’s canceled after you’ve got on the train
And isn’t it ironic… don’t you think?
It’s like praying to a god that’s not there
It’s giving all control to a cult that doesn’t care
It’s the intuition that you just couldn’t hear
Who would’ve thought… it figures
Ms. Insecure was afraid to live
She found an older man who said he’d love her and give
She gave him her whole damn life and gave him some kids
And when she realized he was a sociopath she thought
“Well isn’t this nice…”
And isn’t it ironic… don’t you think?
It’s like chronic pain when you’re really young
It’s smoking weed when you’re already high
It’s your own advice that you just didn’t take
Who would’ve thought… it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything’s okay and everything’s going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything’s gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
Believing magic is the devil and finding out you’re a medium
Burying your feelings when you need them for understanding yourself
It’s like teaching your kids about god then finding out it’s not real
It’s your family disowning you because you pursue your truth
And isn’t it ironic… don’t you think
A little too ironic… and, yeah, I really do think…
It’s a blow job when you’re just six years old
Because your stepdad is only mad all the time
It’s your own self that you just never loved
Who would’ve thought… it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
