Paroles de Everything's Ruined

We were so happy Things worked out better than we had planned Capital from boy, woman and man We were like ink and paper Or numbers on a calculator Knew arithmetic so well Working overtime We completed what was assigned We had to multiply ourselves A bouncing little baby A shiny copper penny And he spent himself Would not listen to us But when he lost his appetite He lost his weight in friends He became a fat nickel so fast Then came puberty Exponentially Soon our boy became a million People loved him so And helped him to grow Everyone knew the thing that was best Of course, we must invest A penny won't do, no A penny won't do, no A penny won't do, no A penny won't do, no And he made us proud He made us rich But how were we to know He's counterfeit? Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah
