Ironic - Celia Rose Gooding/Antonio Cipriano/Laurel Harris/Kei Tsuruharatani/Ezra Menas/John Cardoza/Original Broadway Cast of Jagged Little Pill/Jane Bruce

作词：Alanis Morissette/Glen Ballard

An old man turned 98

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

And isn't it ironic

Don't you think

Hold up wait a second

That's actually not ironic

Right

If we are using irony as defined in Greek tragedy

I don't see how like a fly in your beverage applies

That's not irony

That's just like shitty

Can I please finish my piece

Mr Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly

He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye

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

It's not though

It would be irony if the guy in the crash was like an airplane mechanic

How 'bout you guys let her finish

It's like rain on your wedding 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 sneaking up on you when you think everything's okay

And everything's going right

And life has a funny way

Of helping you out when you think everything's gone wrong

And everything blows up in your face

It's a traffic jam when you're already late

It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It's like meeting the boy of my dreams

And then meeting his

I'm not seeing anyone

And isn't it ironic

Don't you think

A little too ironic

Yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding 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 sneaking up on you

Yeah life has a funny funny way of helping you out

Helping you out
