Rainmakers - Spite

we're all growed up
we're all gone wild
we all been beat like a stepchild
I'd help you save the world
but I'm busy that day
one foot on the gas
and the other in the grave
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive

in spite of you in spite of me
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive

I seen dreams die
I seen folks hated
seen the devil's slogans
spray-painted
seen figures of authority
saying bad is good
I seen the 6 o'clock news
in my own neighborhood
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive

Chorus

I been heartbroke
I been ball-busted
been short-changed
I been mistrusted
been slandered in the streets
libeled in the press
I been embarrassed
in the bedroom
buggered by the the best
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive

Chorus

there's a camaflouged tank
sitting rusting in the dump
there's a camel in the desert
with oil in his hump
the temperature's rising
people hiding in the shade
the ice cap's melting
we're making lemonade
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive

Chorus
