Madness - C’est La Vie

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1988437
Verse 1
Oh life begins at five to eight
No time to waste, it will not wait
A lay-in that was yesterday
Up and at 'em, into the fray
There'll be no time to catch your breath
The enemy of life is death
So sweep the hallway
Mop the wall
Your destiny's about to call

Verse 2
The legislation's in the bag
Justice, a toothless old hag
It's every man now on his own
It's all for one, you'd better run
And stand up tall against the wall
And one by one you all shall fall
And though you'll try to get back home
Your cupboards bare, without a bone

Chorus
Je ne lе fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'еst comme ça que, ça va être. (That's how its going to be)
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ça que, ça va être. (That's how its going to be)
See Madness LiveGet tickets as low as $49 Refrain
Stand up tall against the wall
One by one you all shall fall
And though you'll try to get back home
The cupboards bare, without a bone

Bridge
Some call it Armageddon
I'm sure you've heard them say
It's a Tyrannical heaven
And we're only a moment away

Instrumental break

Chorus
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ça que, ça va être. (That's how its going to be)
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ça que, ça va être. (That's how its going to be)
