Why are we here? Why are we here?
Is there a reason for this madness?
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Or is it just a lot of sadness?
Have we been put on Earth to (dumb, dumb )
Get something done? (Get something done)
Or are we simply here to (dumb, dumb )
Drink and have fun?
Drink and have fun!
La la la la la la la la la
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Is life all full of love and magic?
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Or is it sorrowful and tragic?
Is there a higher purpose (dumb, dumb )
We’re s’posed to do? (We’re s’posed to do)
Or are we simply here to (dumb, dumb )
Eat drink and screw?
Eat drink and screw!
La la la la la la la la la.
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Are we the ones that God’s anointed?
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Or is he really disappointed?
.Is there a purpose for the (dumb, dumb )
Whole human race?
Or is existence just a (dumb, dumb )
Meaningless waste?
Meaningless waste!
La la la la la la la la la.
Are we really on the ball? (Have we got a clue at all?)
Are the answers held within? (Will they lead us to chagrin?)
Are we consciousness sublime? (Did we crawl out of the slime?)
Are we children of a God? (Is religion just a fraud?)
As there somewhere we should go? (Is there any way to know?)
It’s all confusing me.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Is there a reason for this madness?
Why are we here? Why are we here?
Or is it just a lot of sadness?
Is there a higher purpose (dumb, dumb )
Hidden in rhyme? (hidden in rhyme)
Or is this mortal life a (dumb, dumb )
Big waste of time?
Big waste of time!
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Awesome write, Allan. I like the part of questioning if religion is a fraud the best. It makes me think of how some people get to be atheists in life. Sometimes people will think of all the stories in the bible and all the stuff they have heard about death and heaven as a child and then one day all that stuff just might not make as much sense to them as it once did. Thanks for sharing and keep that pen flowing.
