It's a Wonderful Life - Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution

Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed

Once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head

It’s for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul

And I’m feeling what I’m feeling what I’m feeling when it’s time to lose

control, my love

And once again we’re off to war

But I can’t agree with what we’re fighting for

And that’s not all because every time she smiles I see her soul

And I smile, what a wonderful life

It’s true I used to try, but then I gave up

I learned it doesn’t really matter, what I do ain’t enough

To appease or to please, all my well-meaning deeds

Seem to all go up in smoke

And every time I’m looking through these smoke filled skies

I wonder what she’s doing, why I volunteered to die

But tonight I will fight for my life

So I might see my wife again

I explained to her that I’d be back

When I gave my word that the fighting wouldn’t last

But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last

And I smile, it’s been a wonderful life

Goddamn, another summer in the city and

I’ve never seen a girl look so pretty as you

When you smile, oh, you’re wild, for a while

I was hoping I might see you again

I know that everybody’s willing to go

But I find I’d turned it all and leave on a dime

If I leave tonight, screw what’s right

I can make it home by dawn

And I was told, «boy, prepare for war»

But they failed to mention what I’d be fighting for

So I fight for this, the fact that as I pass away I’ll feel her kiss

And I sigh, what a wonderful life

Me oh my, what a wonderful life

Oh, to die for such a wonderful life
