What Are They Doing To Us Now?

As we get older, there's nothing surer

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer

Those small misfortunes all start to pile up

And it gets harder to keep a smile up

But we keep hoping, while all dreams linger

That we'll get lucky one fine day

Then once again fate gives us the finger

Once again with a sigh

We look up to the sky with a quizzical eye

And quietly say

What are they doing to us now?

What's the latest ruin to us now?

Someone up there is getting careless

What are they doing to us now?

Anyhow, what are they doing to us now?

Makes no difference if a man is slave or king

Born, he always is to pain and suffering

Naked, he's pushed out, his new life to begin

Ain't it enough, the awkward way that he came in?

When before he understand just why he's here

Clop comes from the dark, a big smack on the rear

From then on, continuous without a stop

Ah, life's the same old story always clop, clop, clop

Clop, clop, clop

Clop, clop, clop

Science keeps advancing, always on the run

All they seem to do is take from life the fun

Smoking, on and on, it wears your heart away

Drinking shrinks for you that liver day by day

Eating makes you fat, your weight you're gonna check

Sex you do, you don't, you end a nervous wreck

Future generations, we are all to one

Hey, then do yourself a favor, don't get born

Don't get born

Don't get born

What are they doing to us now? (What are they doing to us now?)

What's the latest ruin to us now? (What's the latest ruin to us now?)

Someone up there is getting careless

What are they doing to us now?

What are they doing to us now?

What's the latest ruin to us now?

Someone up there is getting careless

What are they doing?

What are they doing?

What are they doing?

What are they doing?

What are they doing?

To us now
