The Kinks - What Are We Doing? lyrics
[The Kinks - What Are We Doing? lyrics]
What am I doing in a place like this
When it's painfully clear that
My face don't fit?
What am I doing acting identikit
When all I want to do is to be the opposite?
Why am I, why are you
Who's pretending just who's fooling who
Do we go our way or join in their merry queue
What are we doing in the pouring rain
Walking hand in hand
I gotta be out of my brain
What are we doing, is it all for show
Are we drifting along
Going along with the flow
I don't know, I wish I knew
Is it me or you who's fooling
What a bore, where's the door
Are we just for decoration?
What am I doing to you?
What are you doing to me too?
What are they doing to us?
Someone help me, tell me truly
What are we doing in a place like this
Trying to prove to the world
That we really exist
Standing around with all the egotists
Sticking out like a zit knickers
All in a twist why are we? I don't know
Are we merely going with the flow
To prove, who we know
Or drifting along acting a part in a show?
Why am I going through this?
Why are you going through this too?
What are they doing to us?
Someone help me, tell me truly
So do we go our own way
Or do we join their merry queue
Pretending it's OK
Them or us, who's fooling who?
Why are we standing in the acid rain
Watching industrial waste trickling
Down the drain?
What are we doing under the nuclear glow
What we all gonna do? Where we all gonna go?
What are we doing? What are we doing?
When it's painfully clear that
My face don't fit?
What am I doing acting identikit
When all I want to do is to be the opposite?
Why am I, why are you
Who's pretending just who's fooling who
Do we go our way or join in their merry queue
What are we doing in the pouring rain
Walking hand in hand
I gotta be out of my brain
What are we doing, is it all for show
Are we drifting along
Going along with the flow
I don't know, I wish I knew
Is it me or you who's fooling
What a bore, where's the door
Are we just for decoration?
What am I doing to you?
What are you doing to me too?
What are they doing to us?
Someone help me, tell me truly
What are we doing in a place like this
Trying to prove to the world
That we really exist
Standing around with all the egotists
Sticking out like a zit knickers
All in a twist why are we? I don't know
Are we merely going with the flow
To prove, who we know
Or drifting along acting a part in a show?
Why am I going through this?
Why are you going through this too?
What are they doing to us?
Someone help me, tell me truly
So do we go our own way
Or do we join their merry queue
Pretending it's OK
Them or us, who's fooling who?
Why are we standing in the acid rain
Watching industrial waste trickling
Down the drain?
What are we doing under the nuclear glow
What we all gonna do? Where we all gonna go?
What are we doing? What are we doing?
