I've been doing some thinking about the nature of the universe
I found out things are getting better, it's just that people are getting worse
Well ain't that just like living, just like famine strike
Ain't that just like living - what ever happened to real life?

I've been sitting around thinking about ultimate knowledge and such
The smartest man in the whole round world really don't know that much
Well ain't that just like living, blame it on your wife
Ain't that just like living - what ever happened to real life?

I've been doing some thinking about the future of the human race
If people don't stop killing people it's gonna be a hopeless case
Well ain't that just like living, just like toil and strife
Ain't that just like living - what ever happened to real life?
