Max Romeo - What Is Life?

What is life (what is life, what is life) oh now
What is life (what is life, what is life)

What is life, here today and gone tomorrow
What is life (what is life)
When you have to spend it all in sorrow, yeah
What is life (what is life)
When you have to live it out an alley, alley
What is life (what is life)
Without love it don't mean nothing

Is this life (is this life)
The way we are forced to live
Is this life (is this life)
When we ain't have nothing to give
Is this life (is this life)
When you always live in wants, yeah
Is this life (is this life)
When poverty always count, yeah

When you have to see your children hungry
And the house is always empty
And the bills are piling high
And the little children all are crying
'Cause your tummies is-a empty
I said your tummies are empty, whoa

What is life (what is life)
When you have to scratch just like a chicken, yeah
What is life (what is life)
When there's no food left in the kitchen, oh
What is life (what is life)
When there's no water in the main, the main
What is life (what is life)
When you have to live it under strain

What is life (what is life, what is life)
Here today and gone tomorrow, yeah
What is life (what is life, what is life)
When you have to spend it all in sorrow, yeah
What is life (what is life, what is life)
When you have to live it out an alley, alley
What is life (what is life, what is life)
Without love it don't mean nothing, yeah

When you have to see your children hungry
And the house is empty
And the bills are piling so high
And you hear the little children cry
'Cause your tummies are empty
The little tummies are empty, yeah

What is life (what is life)
When you have to scratch just like a chicken
What is life (what is life, what is life)
When there's no food left in the kitchen, yeah
What is life (what is life, what is life)
When there's no water in the main
