What Are They Doing To Us Now? Lyrics - Barbra Streisand

As we get older, there's nothing surer 

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer 

Those small misfortunes all start to pile up 

And it gets harder to keep a smile up 

But we keep hoping, while all dreams linger 

That we'll get lucky one fine day 

Then once again fate gives us the finger 

Once again with a sigh 

We look up to the sky 

With a quizzical eye 

And quietly say: 

What are they doing to us now? 

What's the latest ruin to us now? 

Someone up there is getting careless 

What are they doing to us now? 

Anyhow, what are they doing to us now? 

Makes no difference if a man is slave or king born 

He always is to pain and suffering 

Naked, he's pushed out his new life to begin 

Ain't or not 

The awkward way that he came in? 

When did he understand just why he's here 

Clap comes from the dark 

A big smack on the rear 

From then on continuous without a stop 

Ah, life's the same old story 

Clop, clop, clop, clop, clop, clop 

Science keeps advancing always on the run 

All they seem to do is take from life the fun 

Smoking, on and on, 

It wears your heart away 

Drinking shrinks for you the level day by day 

Eating makes you fat 

You weighted down to check 

Sex you do, you don't, you'll have a nervous wreck 

Future generations we are all to one 

Hey, then do yourself a favor: don't get born, 

Don't get born, don't get born! 

What are they doing to us now? 

What's the latest ruin to us now? 

Careless, what are they doing to us now? 

What are they doing... 

What are they doing... 

What are they doing... 

What are they doing... 

What are they doing to us now?
