Lyrics

Is it green where you are, sitting over there?
You're looking pretty good when I look from here
They say that grass is greener just beyond that fence
And the way I'm looking at ya, that makes perfect sense

You're luckier than me, maybe pluckier than me
Fighting for the lead, in life's exciting grand prix
But I'm still at the back, taking all the flack
Knowing the cameras won't record me, crawling round the track

So I'll shout at the top of my voice
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
I wanna make a fuss
Fire a blunderbuss
Cry and shout and swear
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
Yeah!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

I'm telling you, I'm yelling clues
You think I'm gonna spell it out for you?
Don't wanna dwell, it's no bombshell
It's going… so… well for you

I don't earn as much as people all around me
Ok they have a harder job and way more stress
But it's still not fair, cos I want to get more money
But my boss says if he could then he would pay me even less

My neighbour's car is newer, and shinier than mine
The person walking past me looks so happy and fine
I'd love to go out dining but I can't afford the wine
Feel like I'm sailing solo with my sails all out of line

So I'll shout at the top of my voice
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
I wanna make a fuss
Fire a blunderbuss
Cry and shout and swear
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
Yeah!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

Do do do doo! You're all luckier than me
Do do do doo! It's so easy to see
Do do do doo! You're at the top of the tree
Do do do doo! Got the secret, got the key

Your social media profile, is a wonder to behold
All of you with perfect lives, and halos of gold
You've got a huge advantage, cos you don't have to be me
You get the chances that I don't, at least that's how it feels

So I'll shout at the top of my voice
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
I wanna make a fuss
Fire a blunderbuss
Cry and shout and swear
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
Yeah!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

Do do doo! For you it's not a mystery
Do do doo! Your life's so happy and free
Do do doo! Not like me, can't you see
Do do doo! For me it's not a jubilee

But that's just how I see it
I'm sure you've got troubles of your own
Maybe you secretly look at other people
Get envious, make a fuss, and moan

There's not much we can do about it
All of us lead different lives
So when envy strikes and spoils our dreams
It's fine to let off steam

So I'll shout at the top of my voice
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
I wanna make a fuss
Fire a blunderbuss
Cry and shout and swear
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S…. NOT…. FAIR!
Yeah!
De-de-de-de-do-do
LIFE'S NOT FAIR!

And at the end of the day….
I guess that's just how it is.
