The Cliche Song
The Cliche Song
By Pat Nason (C) 2010

Verse One
Life is what you make it
And the best things in life are free
Just do your damnedest, you're gonna make the grade
You can't have your cake and eat it too
And don't bite off more than you can chew
And when life hands you a dilemma
You just make-a dilemma-nade

Chorus One
And don't go for the big one every time
Life's a bitch and then you die
And pride always goes before the fall
You know that you can't win 'em all
Don't let your big ambition drive you blind
And don't go for the big one every time

Verse Two
Keep your powder dry
And keep your fingers crossed
And don't burn that old candle at both ends
There's no time like the present
He who hesitates is lost
So make every minute count
Cause you won't pass this way again
Chorus Two
And don't just sit there crying in your beer
When you feel like you've had it up to here
Just get right back up on your horse
Say your prayers or use the force
The day will surely come you'll need those tears
Don't waste a one just crying in your beer

Bridge
Nothing lasts forever, that's the deal
And you know what goes up, it must come down
So save the drama for your mama
And put your shoulder to the wheel
This world may not be perfect
But it's the only game in town

Chorus Three
And there's no need to bang your head against the wall
You know it's all for one and one for all
Don't carry more than you can hold
And all that glitters is not gold
Don't try to knock the cover off the ball
And don't slam your head against the wall

(Repeat Chorus One)
And don't go for the big one every time
Life's a bitch and then you die
And pride always goes before the fall
You know that you can't win 'em all
Don't let your big ambition drive you blind
And don't go for the big one every time
Don't go for the big one every time
Don't go for the big one every time
