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 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?
