lyrics
D / A / Bm / G / D / A / D / / /
(repeat)
D A
Bricks without straw
Bm
working for Pharaoh
G
much trabajo
D
poco dinero
A D
life is not short, it's long
D A
There's no free lunch
Bm
and prices rise
G
earning less and less
D
the harder I try
A Bm G D
life is not short, it's lo - ng
A D
life is not short, it's long
(DRUMS AND BASS START)
D A
If you walk out the door
Bm
you'd best be aware
G D
it hurts to try, and it hurts to care
A D
life is not short, it's long
D A
Find the pot of gold
Bm
as soon as you do
G D
it moves far, far away from you
A Bm G D
life is not short, it's lo - - ng
A D
life is not short, it's long
G D A
And it's all the cost of living
G D A/C# Bm
so let's all sing this so - ng
A/C# D G Bm A D
Life is not short it's very very very long
Get as much as you can
then give it away
go into debt
and somehow pay
life is not short, it's long
Pour it all in
none for yourself
most of it's covered in dust on the shelf
D A D
life is not short, it's long
D A Bm G D
life is not short, it's lo - - ng
A D
life is not short, it's long
Take a deep breath
you're gonna make it
put on a smile
it's okay if you fake it
life is not short, it's long
Make sure that you laugh
cause you're gonna cry
when you do your best,
finish last, and sigh:
"Life is not short, it's long,
Life is not short, it's long."
And it's all the cost of living
so let's all sing this song
life is not short it's very very very long
And it's all the cost of living
so let's all sing this song
life is not short it's very very very long
life is not short it's very very very long
life is not short it's very
very very
very very
very very
very very
long

Block Ice & Propane
by Erik FriedlanderErik was a huge inspiration to me, showing different experimental places to take the cello, that it can sound equally good strummed/plucked as well as bowed, giving the instrument a whole new voice.
