Misunderstood Lyrics

Little old man contemplates
suicide twice a day.
Life's passed him by.
Little old woman scared and
blind, left alone in desperate
times.
Life's passed her by.

Oh, life, it's misunderstood them,
so they close their eyes and
dream of better days.
Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah.
Life's not always fair, or so they
say.

Little boy with vacant eyes,
daddy won't be home tonight.
And he don't know why.
His mother, she sits alone tangled
in the web she's sewn.
Lives lie to lie.

Oh, life, it's misunderstood them,
so they close their eyes and
dream of better days.
Oh, life, it's misunderstood, yeah.
Life's not always fair, or so they
say.

Strangled, caged, left alone, doin'
time in a broken home.
Feelin' left to die.
I'm a product of your troubled
ways.
You made me what I am today.
Now you're asking why.
Oh, life's misunderstood me, so I
close my eyes and dream of
better days.
Oo, life's misunderstood me.
Life's not always fair, life's not
always fair or so they say.
or so they say.

Restless soul deep inside searches
for some piece of mind.
Livin' just to die.
I'm an angry man and I always
have had to fight to survive my
past.
A sign of those times.

Life, it's misunderstood me and I
know you know that you've been
there too.
Time lets a restless soul fade
away.
Life's not always fair, life's not
always fair, or so they say.

Little boy with hopeful eyes,
daddy's comin' home tonight.
So don't you cry. So don't you
cry.
So don't you cry. So don't you
cry.

Can I ask what the hell that has to do with the meaning of the song?

The Crue was batshit insane to let Corabi go after this.

Crue fans, enjoy your washed up singer who runs out of breath and has to sing every other word in order to try and keep up with the rest of the band.

I am gonna start by saying that Corabi is/was a great singer, but he just didn't fit with Motley Crue...but this song really is a good one. People gave the Crue a lot of shit for firing Vince in 1992, and the fans let the band know it. Don't get me wrong, Corabi has a great vocal, and during his time in the band...he and the guys did write a good album, but being that it came out in the midst of the grunge heyday...the album bombed.
