Life Is A Scream Lyrics - Why Do Birds Sing? - Violent Femmes

She said to me oh I don't know what you mean 

All I'm trying to do is 

Trying to make your scene 

I said to her no way baby life ain't what it seem 

Well don't you know baby that life is a scream 

She came up to me in her high fashion and sheen 

Well don't you know that she was trying to come clean 

I said to her no way baby life ain't what it seem 

Well don't you know baby that life's a scream 

She said to me oh I love it when you're mean 

Don't you know it's boring when it's quiet and serene 

I said to her no way baby life ain't what it seem 

Got to get it through your head that life is a scream
