That's Just Life
by Nate Parrish

Intro
I wrote down a few lines just trying to find reason in this life
And if you don't mind, I'd like to sing a few lines so I can sleep tonight
'Cause I've never been one to bite my tongue
I've never liked the taste of my own blood

Verse 1
A young man sits in a cell selling his drugs on the street
While another man lives in a mansion selling his drugs on TV
They say that justice is blind
But it seems she can see dollar signs just fine
I guess that's just life

Chorus
Frustration filling up my mind
Temptation taking up my time
We're dying just to stay alive
But that's just life

Verse 2
Ba-ba-ba-ba-back to the rant
There's a pack of wolves, and they're running through your holy house
But you're more concerned with my choice of words than the sheep in their mouths
It's political prostitution
To protect your institution
You're monetizing the Messiah
Red, white, and blue, preach to the choir

Chorus
Frustration filling up my mind
Temptation's taking up my time
We're dying just to stay alive
They're trying to tell me this is just life
But it's not right (It's not right)
That's life, but it's not right (But that's just life)

Bridge
Another day, another injustice
And more questions with answers I can't come up with
Another day of wondering where our prayers go
Am I naive to even have hope?
Did you even happen to open the envelop?
I know that every ask has a reply
I just hate how sometimes it's "No" or "Next time"

Pre-Chorus
I'm sorry, I could not move this mountain for you (Mountain for you)
I'm sorry, I could not move this mountain for you

Chorus
Frustration filling up my mind
Temptation taking up my time
Frustration filling up my mind
Temptation taking up my time
We're dying just to stay alive
They're trying to tell me this is just life (That's just life)
This is just life (That's just life)
This is just life
