lyrics

First off there was a blinding light
Someone smacked my ass to make me cry
I know I’m alive but I don’t know what for
Now I’ve got to fight to find subsistence
Amidst the scrambling of my egg-zistence
“Please God, I never asked you to be born”

Rolling boulders with a smile
Or shaking your fist at the sky
Do I laugh or do I cry at the absurdity of life?

Where tyrants live and children die of cancer
Every religion says it’s got the answer
Tony Robbins said "the answers are within"
The daily violence, I can’t keep track
I gaze into my heart, the void stares back
We search to find the greatest clowns and crown them kings

We get a chance, but we still won’t try
We barely get to live before we die
So do I laugh or do I cry at the absurdity of life?

The absurdity of life
The absurdity of life
The absurdity of life
The absurdity of life

Please, God, please, these puzzle pieces never will fit right
And if you are real, then why must I deal
With the absurdity of life?
Tell me you are real, ‘cause I just can’t deal
With the absurdity of life
Tell me you are real, ‘cause I just can’t deal
With the absurdity of life
