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 we?re 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
