"C'est La Vie" lyrics - MADNESS

Oh life begins at five to eight
No time to waste, it will not wait
A lay-in that was yesterday
Up and at 'em, into the fray
There'll be no time to catch your breath
The enemy of life is death
So sweep the hallway
Mop the wall
Your destiny's about to call

The legislation's in the bag
Justice, a toothless old hag
It's every man now on his own
It's all for one, you'd better run
And stand up tall against the wall
And one by one you all shall fall
And though you'll try to get back home
Your cupboards bare, without a bone

[Chorus:]
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ca que, ca va etre. (That's how its going to be)
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ca que, ca va etre. (That's how its going to be)

[Refrain:]
Stand up tall against the wall
One by one you all shall fall
And though you'll try to get back home
The cupboards bare, without a bone

[Bridge:]
Some call it Armageddon
I'm sure you've heard them say
It's a Tyrannical heaven
And we're only a moment away

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus:]
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ca que, ca va etre. (That's how its going to be)
Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie. (I am not doing it, that's life)
C'est comme ca que, ca va etre. (That's how its going to be)
