lyrics

no matter what you do, you can't let life beat you
no matter what you shout, you can't let life win out

for your life is your most sworn enemy
through all the boredom and suffering
it wants you to give in––don't give in (oh no)


no matter where you go, you must be sure you know
your life lies in wait with all its betrayal innate

and the gates of death in youth make it seem to you
that suicide could be some truth
but all along it's a phony coup
for a puppet state, of grinning hate
that numbers with billions of others
that never can be seen or conquered
and oh, how the days go
are the days
slow? are the
daaays slooow..?


then-why-bat-an-eye?
why should i?
and why would i?
the why won't die
so why bat an eye?
the why won't die
ai, but why bat an eye?
why won't die (bat an eye?)
won't die (bat an eye?)
won't i? (bat an eye?)....



you can't let life win out

(you'll win out)
