Stop asking questions - this is all you need to learn

Just read these words - just read these words



Why plan for the future? Why dwell on the past?

Why dance to the music? Why sing this song?

Why do anything? Why do anything?



We struggle in vain - through varying shades of pain

The truth will hurt - the truth will hurt



Why are you all crying? What will your tears achieve?

And the sorrow, scars and hurt, and the trouble, strife and woe



All these things will come to pass

The way of all flesh it cannot last

The way of all flesh - the way of all flesh



Each and all will see - everything is temporary

The cruel facts of life - the facts of life



Lifelong swandive till we¹re all paralysed

Worn down, worn out - till the pressure shuts our eyes



Why plan for the future? Why dwell on the past?

Why dance to the music? Why sing this song?

Why do anything? Why do anything?



The same senseless conclusion

The same inevitable senseless conclusion
