Life Is Made To Be Enjoyed

It's good to see everybody
It's been a long long time
You may have heard I've been out of the country
I'm a little past my prime
When you're an actor
Then the world can be your stage
But it can be distracting
When you're reacting
With a nameless rage

Millions of galaxies
Spinning in an endless void
What if life is made to be enjoyed?

Welcome to our planet
Hope you enjoy your stay
This life may not go as you planned it
But you'll live it anyway
Most people are decent
But a few may wish you harm
The trick is learning
How to be discerning
But there's no cause for alarm

So tell me why I spend my nights
Awake and paranoid
If this life is made to be enjoyed?

We've got art and music
To keep us occupied
Some philosophy can make you sick
Say anything is justified
Palaces and museums
Kangaroo courts and jails
And immense stone monuments
To reassure us
That justice always prevails

But all our grand creations
Are condemned to be destroyed
But this life is made to be enjoyed

We paid for your education
Proudly sewed your gown
You walked right out of graduation
And burned the courthouse down
What ungrateful child
Would treat her father in this way?
You just hugged me
Smiled and shrugged
And said "there's nothing to explain"

Can you tell the difference
Between screens and opioids?
What if life is made to be enjoyed?

History books are dripping
With the cruel and obscene
Ever notice they were skipping
All the decades in between?
Without wars and murder
It could be romantic comedy
A courtroom drama
Without all the trauma
And the odd emergency

Like the day they say
The world will face a giant asteroid
So what if life is made to be enjoyed?
So what if life is made to be enjoyed?
