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 or not    The awkward way that he came in?    When did he understand just why he's here    Clap comes from the dark    A big smack on the rear    From then on continuous without a stop    Ah, life's the same old story    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 the level day by day    Eating makes you fat    You weighted down to check    Sex you do, you don't, you'll have 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's the latest ruin to us now?    Careless, what are they doing to us now?    What are they doing...    What are they doing...    What are they doing...    What are they doing...    What are they doing to us now?
