The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You Start Off in the Womb, Yeah, Where It's Nice and Warm

Thins Are Lookin' Good, Then It's Time to Be Born

The Doctor Yanks You Out and Slaps You On the Butt

And Before You Know It, Your Umbilical Cord Is Cut

They Drag You From Your Mama, Wheel You Down the Hall

To a Room Full of Babies, Who Just Lie There and Bawl

Lyin' in a Diaper, Feelin' Like a Fool

Things'll Get Much Worse When It's Time to Go to School

You're Crammed Into a Classroom With 30 Other Kids

Good You Get Nothing-bad You Get Hit

Nobody Likes You and the Classroom Is Cold

You're Stuck With a Textbook That's 35 Years Old

The Bullies Beat You Up the Teachers Put You Down

You're Sittin' in the Corner Don't Dare Make a Sound

If You Learn One Thing, You'd Better Learn to Curse

'cuz From Now On Your Life Gets Even Worse

Now You Are Older and Have to Get a Job

You Will Buy a House You Will Buy a Saab

You'll Get Up in the Morning You Will Feel Like Dyin'

As the Years Go Rollin' By, You'll Slowly Lose Your Mind

You Were Once a Young Man, But Now You're Turnin' Grey

>from Lisoening to People Talk About the Judgment Day

Now You've Retired, Goodbye to Your Job

And You've Lost Your Teeth, Goodbye to Corn-on-the-cob

You'll Look Back On Your Life and All the Things You Did

Standin' in the Yard, Yellin' At the Neighbor Kids

Now You're Kickin' Back Don't Have a Care

You Will See the World From Your Craft-matic Chair

You'll Move to Arizona Where All the Old Folks Go

You Will Vote Republican Y You'll See Ufo's

The One Day You Die You Find Your Self in Hell

With the Lake-o'-fire and That Awful Brimstone Smell

You Were Really Good, But You Weren't Good Enough

Yes, Living Isn't Easy, But Dying's Really Tough

Then You'll Look Around and See How It's Gonna Be

Yes, My Friend, You're Screwed For All Eternity
