It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's good advice that you just didn't take
And who would have thought....it figures

Mr. Play-it-Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damned life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, "Well isn't this nice?"
