Four Year Strong - Ironic Lyrics

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

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding 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 have thought it figures?

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and he kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought wasn't this nice

And isn't it ironic, don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding 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 have thought it figures?

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's going right

And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

It's a traffic jam when you're already late
It's a no smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's like meeting the man of your dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

Well, isn't it ironic, don't you think?
A little too ironic and yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding 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 have thought it figures?

Now life has a funny way
Oh, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
