I hear the dominoes click
As they begin to fall
All set up, a perfect trick
Just like life, as I recall

A set of scenarios
That you all go through
Blindly you will follow
The trail set up for you

Birth, school, work, death
A few small variables on the way
No time for you to take a breath
Until your dying day

It's all been set up for you
Way before your birth
What family you're born into
Decides what your life is worth

Yes, I hear the dominoes click
As they begin to fall
All set up, a perfect trick
Just like life as I recall
