What are we doing
And what is the meaning
We make our plans
And darkness comes intervening
Who are we
Why do we what we do
It don’t mean nothing
Once we’re out of the field of view
We are a bunch silly old creatures
Always sassing back at our teachers
Well we laugh and we cry
And we sing our old songs
And we dance with our husbands and wives
And we live and we die
Like the billions before
All of the days of our lives
We know what we want
We know what we’re doing
What we don’t know
Is why the world is ungluing
We are so smart
At least we think so
We live out our lives
On a reality show
In a hundred years what will they think
Of the people who pushed the world
To the brink
