Don't Let the Bastard Get the Better of You

For goodness sake, Alice,
Everyone knows,
It's just the way life is,
That's how it goes.

Sometimes life deals you aces,
Other times not even one match.
You have to do the best you can;
That's the catch.

So gird your loins, make lemonade,
Or use any cliche of man,
Don't let that bastard get the better of you,
Do all that you can!
