Existentialism
Is doing my head in
All this time I have been
Waiting for life to begin

Pick another ism
Comic communism
Singing from Sing Sing
Waiting for life to begin

A collection of spare parts
Losing, breaking hearts
Throwing random darts
A series of false starts

Existentialism
Is doing my head in
All this time I have been
Waiting for life to begin

One of life’s cruel and callous creatures
Facile and facetious
Pretending I know Nietzsche’s
Thoughts on fascism and Jesus

Pick another ism
Comic communism
Singing from Sing Sing
Waiting for life to begin

Waiting for life to begin
Waiting for life to begin
Am I nearly there yet?
