Cradle to the Grave Songtext
von Motörhead

Ain′t so bad, ain't so bad
Could′ve been a loser
Ain't so bad, ain't so bad
Rather be a boozer

Standing at the crossroads
See where the wind blows
Following the white line
Following my nose

You′ll be living on the razor′s edge
Soon as you learn to shave
Make sure you live be a long time dead
Cradle to the grave
Long time

Ain't too good, don′t look good
But it'll get worse
Don′t look good, don't feel good
It′s gonna take years


Life drives you nuts, babe
'Cause if you ain't certain
It′ll kick you in the guts, babe
And leave you hurting

Don′t matter up or down
Sideways, in or out
If it makes you feel good, do it
And then get out

You'll be living on the razor′s edge
Listen to what I say
Don't spend your life in your own bed
Cradle to the grave, hey

Ain′t so bad, ain't so bad
Could′ve been a junkie
Ain't so bad, ain't so bad
Could′ve had a monkey

You can′t take it with you
Not even if you earn it
You find out what you need, babe
Then you better learn it


It don't matter who you are
Millionaire or whore
Just get out and scrape that jar
That′s what they've got it for

You′ve been living on a razor's edge
One way to behave
Make sure you do it or it′ll cut you dead
Cradle to the grave
Cradle to the grave
