Life Is Never Wrong - Janis Ian

feast or famine, god or mammon, priest or shaman - opposites attract, saints and sinners, losers, winners, rank beginners - there's no going back, my old man was a dreamer, dreamed his life away, sometimes dreams are realer, than the roles we play, daddy used to say, you don't walk another man's path, you don't sing another man's song, you don't pay the whores of babylon, the road is never straight, the way is always long, but one thing i can say before i'm gone, life is never wrong, people used to laugh and say, you never ought to make the truth your bride
