Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Number's Up? - Steve Taylor

Sally’s into knowledge

Spent her years in college

Just to find out nothing is true

She can hardly speak now

Words are not unique now

'Cause they can’t say anything new

You say humanist philosophy is what it’s all about

You’re so open-minded that your brain leaked out

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up

Time to lay diplomas down

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up

And you’re buried six feet underground?

Spent your life looking out for number one

Pridle’ll come before a fall

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up?

Were you thinking that was the end of it all?

Harry’s a civilian

Wants to make a million

So he keeps on plugging away

Money is eternal

Like the Wall Street Journal

Yes, they’re gonna make him happy someday

Grabbin' for the gusto

Gonna hit paydirt or bust

Where’s it gonna get you

When you bite the dust?

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up

Time to lay your money down

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up

And you’re buried six feet underground?

Spent your life looking out for number one

Pridle’ll come before a fall

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up?

Were you thinking that was the end of it all?

Buried in your psyche is the shadow of a doubt

You’re so open-minded that your brains leaked out
