If the life you have created Has buried you with luxuries outdated And you ask what is the purpose Too weak to claw your way up to the surface You resent all of your trophies They belittle human spirit like a timepiece That is ticking in your breast pocket And so you long to reach in and stop it Then your heart it will be broken And every sour word that you have spoken About everybody else Will return to act upon yourself If the life you have created Is founded on jealousy and hatred It's too late to ask questions For you're much too old to take any suggestions It's the life you have created It's the life you have created It's the life It is the life
Sing Along
Hammerin' hammerin' Hammerin' hammerin'
Halleluhoodwink, a hound's life is for me Everything but the kitchen sink, he built it just for me Hallelu you're the thing that leads me to the mark I'd build you a river but I'm still not through with this ark
Man built a furnace, a Mercedes-Benz Man built the cities of Kansas and Berlin Man slew the bison and he built a Thieves' Road That pass over Tel Aviv-Jaffa and lead to the Mother Lode Mother Lode
Hallelu-half-a-wit, a fool’s life is for me Steppin' off a parapet with a dog nippin' my knee Hallelu you're the girl that whispers through the wall I'd build you a hammer with a thick head and long claws
Man built an empire out of ocean and earth Man built the prisons of Joliet, San Quentin and Leavenworth And man built a market for Muhammad Ali Evel Knievel and the legacy of John Wayne… Gacy Gacy
But I can't sing along (Bury my body oh) But I can't sing along (Bury my soul) But I can't sing along (Bury my body oh) But I can't sing along Sing along Sing along
Hammerin' hammerin' Hammerin' hammerin'
But I can't sing along (Bury my body oh) But I can't sing along (Bury my soul) But I can't sing along (Bury my body oh) But I can't sing along Sing along Sing along
Man built a furnace a Mercedes-Benz Man built the cities of Kansas and Berlin
