What Are They Doing To Us? - Barbra Streisand
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
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 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
What are they doing
What are they doing
What are they doing
What are they doing
To us now
