Ironic Lyrics by Alanis Morissette Alanis Morissette
Below, you will find the lyrics for Ironic by Alanis Morissette.
Hey yeah yeah
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
Well, isn't this nice
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
Well life has a funny way
Of sneakin' up on you
When you think everything's okay
And everything's going right, right
And life has a funny way
Nobody helpin' you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons
When all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meetin' his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do think
It's like rain on your weddin' day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures
And your life has a funny way
Of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way
Of helping you out
Helping you out
