Let's Call it A Life

I am famous to my friends and family
To my friends and family I'm a household name
They all know I could've been a contender
Could've been a knee bender at the walk of fame

Yeah, but what goes up must surely come down
Facts and figures, they're a fact of life
I only wanted to be in "b" movies,
Be kind to strangers and to call it a life

Yay- eeeeh - eeeeh - oh
Call it a life

In my mind I'm the world's greatest lover
I'm the worlds greatest lover if you close your eyes
I am the silent type under the covers
Under the covers i can't tell such lies

Yeah, but what goes up must surely come down
Facts of biology they're a fact of life
I only wanted to be wanted
Have a house full of children and a satisfied wife

Yay-eeeeh - eeeeh - oh
(Sometimes you gotta let go of where you thought you were going
Look where you are and just call it a life
Yeah, sometimes you go where the river is flowing
Look where you are and just call it a life)

Let's call it a life
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse
Let's call it a life
Most the time it's boredom but sometimes it's worse

Last night I dreamed I had a message for the masses
A message for the masses that would set them free
I shook my tambourine and stood on a soap box
I stood on a soap box and said, "be like me!"

What goes up must surely come down
Artifacts and figurines they're a fact of life
I only wanted to be half crazy
And to be half happy and to call it a life

We gotta call it something
So let's just call it a life
