The Dead Milkmen - How It's Gonna Be lyrics
[The Dead Milkmen - How It's Gonna Be lyrics]
Start off in the womb, yeah
Where it's nice and warm
Things are lookin' good
Then it's time to be born
Doctor pulls you out and slaps
You on the butt and before you know it your
Umbilical cord is cut
Drag you from your mama
Wheel you down the hall room full of babies
Who just lie there and bawl
Lyin' in a diaper, feelin' like a fool
Things'll get much worse when it's
Time to go to school
You're crammed into a classroom
With 30 other kids
Good you get nothing - bad you get hit
Nobody likes you and the classroom is cold
Stuck with a textbook that's 35 years old
Bullies beat you up, teacher puts you down
Sittin' in the corner don't dare make a sound
If you learn one thing, better learn to curse
'Cuz from now on, life gets even worse
Now that you are 30, better get a job
You will buy a house, you will buy a Saab
Get up in the morning
You will feel like dyin'
As the years go rollin' by
You will lose your mind
You were once a young man
Now you're turnin' grey
Listening to people talkin' 'bout
The Judgment Day
Now you've retired, goodbye to the job
And you've lost your teeth
Goodbye corn-on-the-cob
Look back on your life and
All the things you did
Standin' in the yard, yellin' at the kids
Now you're kickin' back
You don't have a care
Time to see the world from
Your Craft matic chair
You'll move to Arizona where all
The old folks go
You will vote Republican, you'll see UFO's
Then one day you die, find yourself in Hell
With the lake-o'-fire and that
Awful brimstone smell you were really good
But you weren't good enough
Living ain't so easy, dying's really tough
Now look around, see how it's gonna be
Yes, my friend
You're screwed for all eternity
Where it's nice and warm
Things are lookin' good
Then it's time to be born
Doctor pulls you out and slaps
You on the butt and before you know it your
Umbilical cord is cut
Drag you from your mama
Wheel you down the hall room full of babies
Who just lie there and bawl
Lyin' in a diaper, feelin' like a fool
Things'll get much worse when it's
Time to go to school
You're crammed into a classroom
With 30 other kids
Good you get nothing - bad you get hit
Nobody likes you and the classroom is cold
Stuck with a textbook that's 35 years old
Bullies beat you up, teacher puts you down
Sittin' in the corner don't dare make a sound
If you learn one thing, better learn to curse
'Cuz from now on, life gets even worse
Now that you are 30, better get a job
You will buy a house, you will buy a Saab
Get up in the morning
You will feel like dyin'
As the years go rollin' by
You will lose your mind
You were once a young man
Now you're turnin' grey
Listening to people talkin' 'bout
The Judgment Day
Now you've retired, goodbye to the job
And you've lost your teeth
Goodbye corn-on-the-cob
Look back on your life and
