What is the meaning of life?

I am a useless being, Really. It's grim to think, I know. Because I'm just living to die In this vessel that wills But will eventually tucker out, And then what matters? Certainly I don't. Not in this vast universe That doesn't care If you're in love or all alone, If you've got a nice house In the wasteland of suburbia Or if you waste every ounce of yourself Because you know, You're just going to die anyways. And anyways what's a life wasted exactly If we can't even figure out what the meaning is?
