Janis Ian Life Is Never Wrong Lyrics

Feast or famine, God or Mammon Priest or shaman - opposites attract Saints and sinners, losers, winners Rank beginners - there's no going back My old man was a dreamer Dreamed his life away Sometimes dreams are realler than the roles we play Daddy used to say --

You don't walk another man's path You don't sing another man's song You don't pay the whores of Babylon The road is never straight The way is always long, but one thing I can say before I'm gone -- Life is never wrong

People used to laugh and say "You never ought to make the truth your bride "Marry money, fill your tummy "Only junkies live to get that high" My first love was Beauty She tried so hard to please Then she introduced me to the Beast Knocked me to my knees
You don't walk another man's path You don't sing another man's song You don't pay the whores of Babylon The road is never straight The way is always long, but one thing I can say before I'm gone -- Life is never wrong

Hold your head up high, no matter what the weight Look life in the eye, don't hesitate Life won't wait

You don't walk another man's path You don't sing another man's song You don't pay the whores of Babylon The road is never straight The way is always long, but one thing I can say before I'm gone -- Life is never wrong
