My Philosophy of Life

from Throw the Lions to the Christians by Larry O. Dean

/

lyrics

Don't count your chickens
before they're hatched
a stitch in time saves nine
thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's wife
this is my philosophy of life

An ounce of prevention's
worth a pound of cure
nice guys finish last
& every cloud has a silver lining
this is my philosophy of life

Do unto others as you'd have them
do unto you
give & you shall receive
an apple a day keeps the doctor away
this is my philosophy of life

A penny saved is a penny earned
an eye for an eye
what doesn't destroy me
makes me stronger
this is my philosophy of life

Peace through power
only the strong survive
& love is blind
eat, drink & be merry
shit happens
this is my philosophy of life

(cram it down your throat)
I cut out the bad parts with a knife
(hurry up, don't miss your boat)
I accept everything implicitly
(I am the angriest young man)
I live my own life & let others be
(I will survive doing the best I can)

this is my philosophy of life
