Ironic Lyrics - The Voice

Hey yiah yiah 

Yiah yea yea 

Hey yiah 

An old man turned ninety-eight 

He won the lottery and died the next day 

It's a black fly in your Chardonnay 

It's a death row pardon two minutes too late 

Isn't it ironic 

Don't you think? 

It's like rain on your weddin' day 

It's a free ride when you've already paid 

It's the good advice that you just didn't take 

And who would've thought, it figures 

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly 

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye 

He waited his whole damn life to take that flight 

And as the plane crashed down he thought 

Well, isn't this nice 

And isn't it ironic 

Don't you think? 

It's like rain on your weddin' day 

It's a free ride when you've already paid 

It's the good advice that you just didn't take 

And who would've thought, it figures 

Well life has a funny way of sneakin' up on you 

When you think everything's okay and everything's goin' right, right 

And life has a funny way nobody helpin' you out when 

You think everyhing's gone wrong and everything blows up 

In your face 

A traffic jam when you're already late 

A no smoking sign on your cigarette break 

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife 

It's meetin' the man of my dreams 

And then meetin' his beautiful wife, umm 

And isn't it ironic 

Don't you think? 

A little too ironic 

And yeah, I really do think 

It's like rain on your weddin' day 

It's a free ride when you've already paid 

It's the good advice that you just didn't take 

And who would've thought, it figures 

And well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you 

And life has a funny, funny way of helpin' you out 

Helpin' you out
