The epilogue. In the spirit of a drunken barroom singalong, it sums up everything that happened throughout the album. Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down, sometimes an outlaw and sometimes a clown, sometimes you’re just the scum of the earth, then the next thing you know it’s just another rebirth. Life ain’t easy and things happen that you never thought would. But my belief is that you have to keep on pushin’ ahead, constantly evolving your spirit and soul for the greater good. More love, less hate, that’s the message. Thanks for reading and thanks for listening. Cheers.
lyrics
Sometimes your up and some times your down
Sometimes an outlaw sometimes a clown
Sometimes your just the scum of the earth
Then the next thing you know it’s just another rebirth
Sometimes you shout your praise to the Lord
Sometimes you lose your faith and lock up your doors
But life passes by in a blink of the eye
So be good to each other till the day that you die
Oh that’s just the way that it goes
Oh that’s just life they say
Love every little moment you have
For everyone an end will come but don’t you be sad
