verse 1

I have yearned, I have strivenI have wondered, I have triedI have hurt, I've been forgivenI have screamed and I have cried

I have sought a higher callingI have grown, and you have tooso it's a shame that now they tell usthe brave new world won't need me or you

Oh, what's it forit don't matter any moreas I watch our setting sun

Oh, what's it forit don't matter any moreGuess we're doneGuess we're done

verse 2

I can play second fiddlebut I won't have one at allSpent my days pondering life's riddleFind my answer in the fall

I don't need to live foreverI just need to know what it's all forTell me, what will you be askingas they lead you out the door?

chorus

Oh, what's it forit don't matter any moreas I watch our setting sun

Oh, what's it forit don't matter any moreGuess we're doneGuess we're done

verse 3

It's coming, you can feel itit's something you cannot escapeIs there a human spiritor were we just a bunch of apes?

Now listen for the voices risingListen past the hum of the machinesYou will hear the billions asking:"what now? what's it mean?"

Oh, what's it forit don't matter any moreas I watch our setting sun

Oh, what's it forit don't matter any moreGuess we're doneGuess we're done
