It's said history repeats itself, well that is nothing new
But somewhere in the scheme of things one learns an awful truth
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
Life is a strict teacher
Whose lessons must be learned
And optimists turn pessimists after experience
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
Try to understand
No matter what you plan
You'll never get what you demand
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
Try to understand
No matter what you plan
You'll never get what you demand
Betwixt and between
Nightmare and dream
It's really as bad as it seems
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
All the disappointment of the world
