My Richter scale Is passed a million I’m clocking in At about a billion smacked by the nail But the hammer is not the one smacking Life is not a box of chocolates And sometimes shit happens
Go to the therapist Tell them everything They give you some medicine But it don’t do a thing And you just wanna run away Send this whole life packing Life is not a box of chocolates And sometimes shit happens
Sometimes its hard to
Get in your right mind
When the same shit
happens time after time
I wanna be bird
In no harms way
So I can fly
Far from yesterday
You best believe
I won’t be looking back
Cause there was never a prize
In this Cracker Jack
Life is not a box of chocolates
But I coulda told you that
Sometimes shit happens
And that’s a fact
