Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Number’s Up?

Here’s a song for one of my frequent commenters: Whatcha Gonna Do When Your Number’s Up?

Sally’s into knowledge
spent her years in college
just to find out nothing is true

She can hardly speak now
words are not unique now
’cause they can’t say anything new

You say humanist philosophy is what it’s all about?
You’re so open-minded that your brain leaked out

Whatcha gonna do when your number’s up?
time to lay diplomas down
whatcha gonna do when your number’s up?
and you’re buried six feet underground
spent your life looking out for number one
pride’ll come before a fall
whatcha gonna do when your number’s up?
were you thinking
that was the end of it all?

Buried in your psyche is the shadow of a doubt
You’re so open minded that your brains leaked out
– Steve Taylor

Something to think about, huh?

  • The thing that is so ironic about this song, is the AGE of it!!

    It was written in 1982, yet much of what is in here is applicable today.

    Kinda like the Bible - God’s word yesterday, today and forever!
