Ironic by Alanis Morrisete

(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 (1)________ when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought, it figures

He packed his (3)________________ and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take (4)________ flight
And as the (5)__________ crashed down he thought

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

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 (6)________ has a funny way
Nobody helpin' you out
When you think everything's (7)________ wrong

A no smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons
When all you need is a knife
It's (9)______________ the man of my dreams
And then meetin' his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic

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
