lyrics

--Harvest Song (C'est La Vie)--

I met the devil in a truck stop
He was waiting for a ride
He snapped his fingers to the radio
That was playing from inside

He smiled and said that the dream was dead
Though the words still travel on
'Cause the war's still fought and the kid's still shot
In the fields outside Saigon

But we all still danced and we felt entranced
'Cause he made those words sound sweet

And we all still danced and we felt entranced
When he made those words sound sweet

C'est la vie

I met the devil in a truck stop
He was outside for a smoke, he said
You're always gonna leave 'em laughing
But you still don't get the joke

'Cause you can't erase their smiling face
When there's nothing underneath
And you can't insist that they're innocent
Or you'd sound a lot like me

But we'll all play nice and we'll act surprised
If you finally start to see

And we'll all play nice and we'll act surprised
If you finally make us see

C'est la vie

I met the devil in a truck stop
And he reeked of kerosene
He said you'd better pay attention
When you see the things I’ve seen

A rush of fire in the coiled barbed wire
And the ashes in the breeze
And specters huddled in the dirt and mud
In a foxhole overseas

But we'll all sing along to the harvest song
As the chaff piles at our feet

And we'll all sing along to the harvest song
'Cause we make those words sound sweet

C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
C'est la vie
