A sperm greets an egg in a series of events
It is the moment of conception
A newborn babe enters the world
It is a less than excited reception
It's what happened to me
It's what happened to you
Sooner or later the bill comes due
It's what happened to them
It's what happened to us
Sooner or later we all say adieu
A man grabs his chest and he slams the floor
His poor old heart is giving out
He looks as his life streaks by in a flash
He has no idea what it's all about
A weed springs up through the dirty ground
And it pushes it’s way right up to the sky
Then someone comes and rips it out
Goodbye, ol' weed, goodbye
