Life, what's the meaning
What's inside the magic box
Will it give you all the answers
Or is it just a pair of socks
You spend your whole life seeking
You find that it is all unfair
People tell you what's really going on
But mostly they are filled with hot air
It's the whole enchilada
Not a little but a lotta
It's the whole shebang
But it don't mean a goddamn thing
Life, what's the deal
Who can ever figure it out
One minute you think you got the answer
And the next you're in a world of doubt
You read your verses from the bible
All in the hope that something will seep in
You try to be pure and righteous
But in the end you wind up living in sin
If God is up there I bet He's laughing
At all us people and our folly
I bet He regrets He ever made us
He says, "goddamn" and "gee golly"
"You turned out to be such a rotten disgrace
You know I hate the whole entire human race"
