Life O'Riley Lyrics
I sit in my easy chair
I've got so much time to spare
Because I know in my future days
I'll have my lionshare
There's nothing I like better
Than getting something for nothing
Some will tell you
That nothing's for free
Obviously they've not met me.
You can have your cake and eat it too
And there's plenty of free lunch for you
If you think you're getting cheated
Then you don't have a clue
You don't know where you are, or what to do.
I live the lifestyle they speak of so highly
I live the life...the life of Riley
I've got so much time to spare
Because I know in my future days
I'll have my lionshare
Than getting something for nothing
Some will tell you
That nothing's for free
Obviously they've not met me.
And there's plenty of free lunch for you
If you think you're getting cheated
Then you don't have a clue
You don't know where you are, or what to do.
I live the life...the life of Riley
this song is about a man who drifts through life getting the better end of the bargain all the time.
free stuff is good man..... the only way to live life is freely
O'Riley was a poet who wrote about stuff like sitting in fields on sunny days looking up at clouds and livng an easy, care free life hence the term: life O'Riley. Ace song!
