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? |
