Tytuł: 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?
