Life isn't fair sometimes
I've heard this phrase, 'Life isn't fair sometimes', which I take to mean that life is unfair sometimes.
Now, to express the same meaning, can you say these variations?
(1) Life isn't sometimes fair.
(2) Sometimes life isn't fair.
(3) Life isn't always fair.
(4) Life isn't fair always.
(5) Always life isn't fair.
I think (2), (3) and (4) work. But not sure about (1) and (5).
