A Way Of Life Lyrics - A Way Of Life: Anthology 1967-1976 - Family Dogg

Cowboys playing, young men slaying 

Old men praying, the world will change 

Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating 

Mothers waiting to rearrange 

Trendy worker, factory shirker 

Social nurture won't let you down 

Chairman bluster, boardroom fluster 

Feather duster, your vintage crown 

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor 

Rich or poor man's wife 

Some may wish to change their dish 

But it's a way of life 

(La la la la)Tinker, tailor 

(La la la la)soldier, sailor 

(La la la la)Rich or poor man's wife 

(La la la la)Some may wish to change their dish 

(La la la la)But it's a way of life 

So be thankful for what you're given 

And be good to your wife in bed 

And look after the art of living 

And don't forget you're a long time dead 

When you're born it's a great big welcome 

When you go it's a sad goodbye 

Oh, with the bit in between your future 

It's up to you if you laugh or cry 

Cowboys playing, young men slaying 

Old men praying, the world will change 

Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating 

Mothers waiting to rearrange 

It's just a way of life 

Just a way of life 

Cowboys playing, young men slaying 

Old men praying, the world will change 

Schoolgirls dating, daughters mating 

Mothers waiting to rearrange 

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor 

Rich or poor man's wife 

Some may wish to change their dish 

But it's a way of life 

Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor 

Rich or poor man's wife 

Some may wish to change their dish 

But it's a way of life
