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?
