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

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 brains leaked out [Chorus] Whatcha gonna do when your number's up? Time to lay diplomas down (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 Pride'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 pluggin' 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? [Chorus] Buried in your psyche is the shadow of a doubt You're so open minded that your brains leaked out
