What Are They Doing To Us Now? lyrics

[MISS MARMELSTEIN]
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

[ENSEMBLE]
What are they doing to us now?
What's the latest ruin to us now?
Somеone up there is gеtting careless
What are they doing to us now?
Anyhow, what are they doing to us now?

[MISS MARMELSTEIN]
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 it enough, the awkward way that he came in?
When before he understand just why he's here
Clop comes from the dark, a big smack on the rear
From then on, continuous without a stop
Ah, life's the same old story always clop, clop, clop
[ENSEMBLE]
Clop, clop, clop
Clop, clop, clop

[MISS MARMELSTEIN]
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 that liver day by day
Eating makes you fat, your weight you're gonna check
Sex you do, you don't, you end a nervous wreck
Future generations, we are all to one
Hey, then do yourself a favor, don't get born

[ENSEMBLE]
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 to us now?
What's the latest ruin to us now?
Someone up there is getting careless

[MISS MARMELSTEIN]
What are they doing?
[ENSEMBLE]
What are they doing?
What are they doing?
What are they doing?
What are they doing?

[MISS MARMELSTEIN & ENSEMBLE]
To us now
