When we are young it starts
We go to school nearly 8 hours a day
When does life begin?
Well, after school
Then why do I go home with homework
When does life begin?
Perhaps, following that
Yet I'm exhausted and must get rest
When does life begin?
The weekends then, right after Friday
Oh, sorry I have to work and pay for my food
When does life begin?
After all that the real stuff starts
Like work, bills, and taxes?
When does life begin?
Well maybe when you finally retire
So when I'm old, disabled, and nearly dead?
That's when life begins?

The longer I live the more it seems like we are all just zombies doing our endless responsibilities. What is the point?
