Flowers Are Pretty - The Vandals

Children are lovely before they get ugly

And learn to do bad stuff

Flowers are pretty before they get shitty

And rot and turn to dust

I heard that life is a wheel and you can’t make it stop

If you try it’ll flatten your head

It’s a circle of shit we’re in the middle of it

But soon we’ll all be dead

Like everybody else that ever lived before

The things you make fall to the floor

And nobody knows how hard you tried

It’s been that way since the start of time

There was a caveman that did some amazing things

But nobody here gives a fuck

And in a thousand years they’ll feel the same

Towards all the things you’ve done

So don’t worry what might give you cancer

Or stay up nights just wanting answers

It’s just a crap shoot, but it’s mostly crap

Things start off they’re so terrific

They’ll fuck up it’s scientific

Entropy, uncertainty won’t yield to you

Love at first sight on a beautiful night

And a feeling is so divine

Gets sucked down the toilet cause something will spoil it

With the good times left behind you

Don’t try to figure out who’s at fault

Powerful forces abound

Like a twig on a river in the universe

Tomorrow you’ll probably drown

So don’t worry if it is a tumor

All this will be over sooner

It’s just a crap shoot, but it’s mostly crap

Things start off they’re so terrific

They’ll fuck up it’s scientific

Entropy, uncertainty won’t yield to you, or you

And all the things that matter most

Disappear, here’s a toast

To erosion and corrosion

Alzheimers and pain

Don’t try to figure out who’s at fault

There’s powerful forces at play

And if you lose your legs and have to beg

It’s really all the same

So don’t worry what might give you cancer

Or stay up nights just wanting answers

It’s just a crap shoot, but it’s mostly crap

Things start off they’re so terrific

They’ll fuck up it’s scientific

Entropy, uncertainty won’t yield to you

Don’t worry if it is a tumor

All this will be over sooner

It’s just a crap shoot, but it’s mostly crap

Things start off they’re so terrific

They’ll fuck up it’s scientific

Entropy, uncertainty won’t yield to you, or you
