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

Numbers on a calculator

Knew arithmetic so well

Working overtime

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

Baby 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

he 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

But he made us proud

He made us rich

But how were we to know

He's counterfeit

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea

Now everything's ruined

yea
