  • 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

    Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
    C'est comme ça que ça va être
    Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
    C'est comme ça que ça va être

    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

    Some call it Armageddon
    I'm sure you've heard them say
    It's a tyrannical heaven
    And we're only a moment away

    Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
    C'est comme ça que ça va être
    Je ne le fais pas, c'est la vie
    C'est comme ça que ça va être Writer/s: Michael Barson
