lyrics

When Life Hands you Crap (Make Compost), by Marty Jones

Who knew the good times would end, we’d be banished from our friends
Who knew the gravy train could crash, we'd sell our stuff for cash
Times like these, the key to happiness is making magic from messes.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade, squeeze up a glass and raise a toast.
And if the troubles run from coast to coast
When Life hands you crap, make compost

One day the glass is half full, one day it’s broken on the floor
One day the boss can’t praise you enough, the next he can’t pay you any more
Yesterday they all wanna be you, tonight you’re in the ICU ooh ooh

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade, squeeze up a glass and raise a toast.
And when the game is fixed and they’ve moved the goal posts

Rolling hard pack into healthy dirt
Raising happiness from the Big Hurt
Turning trashed dreams into something true
That’s how you make trouble, bear fruit

Who knew the good times would end, we’d be burying our friends
Who knew the party train could crash and life would kick our ass.
Times like these some positive thinking might stop your spirit from sinking

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
Fill up your glass and raise a toast.
If you’re saying goodbye to the things you love most.
When life hands you crap, make compost, 3X
