Life Is Sweet
by Brian Doerksen

Album: Prodigal God

THE YOUNGER SON
Life is sweet, life is good
And I'm lovin' it like I should
Sights to savor, colors intense
Life is good, life is grand
I love trav'lin' through the land
And I won't slow down until I've seen it all

THE YOUNGER SON & THE YOUNG WOMAN
Life is sweet, life is good
And I'm livin' it like I should
Spicy flavors, salty new scents
Life is good, life is gold
Like the goods I buy, I'm sold
And I won't slow down until I've got it all
Life is sweet

THE YOUNGER SON
Well, I'm groovin' with my new friends
Pushy dealers of delight
'Cause money's for the spendin'
And love is for the lendin'
And everyday we've got, let's make like sand and fly
From dune to dune, till stars get in your eyes

THE YOUNGER SON & THE YOUNG WOMAN
Life is sweet, life is good, and I'm givin' it all I should
Curried favor, smoky ascent
Not just good, life is great
So I'm gonna satiate
Every thirst and hunger till I've had my fill
Every thirst and hunger till I've had my fill
Life is sweet

THE TRADERS
Sweet for those who set the rules
Sweet for those who pick the tune

THE YOUNG WOMAN & THE TRADERS
Sweet for our spendhappy fool
Sweet to see him whoop and swoon

THE TRADERS
But what about the low born scum who pay the dues?
Life too sweet can turn too bitter all too soon

THE YOUNGER SON
Do you think I'll get addicted?

THE YOUNG WOMAN
Uh- huh

THE YOUNGER SON
Well, I admit I've got that bent

THE YOUNG WOMAN
Nah
The body's for the stretchin'

THE YOUNGER SON
The body's for the stretchin'

THE YOUNG WOMAN
And stars are for the catchin'

THE YOUNGER SON
Stars are for the catchin'

THE YOUNGER SON & THE YOUNG WOMAN
And everyday we've got to take the chance and fly
From moon to moon, hear life's relentless cry
Life is hot, life is cool
When you're one spendhappy fool
Sound the cheer, extravagance is here

THE TRADERS
Life is fun, life is fresh
Filled with endless happiness
So we won't slow down until we've tasted all
No, we won't slow down until we've wasted all
Life is sweet, Life is sweet

THE YOUNG WOMAN & THE TRADERS
Your life is sweet

THE YOUNGER SON
Life is sweet
