What do we do now? Oh what do we do now? The kettle's gotten blacker We're getting screwed over and over again When our daily prayers fall on deaf ears We can crawl along oh Singapore When our river snakes more than ever We can crawl along there on our killing floor Is what we're better for Why do we go mad? Oh why do we go mad? What is bubbling under our tired fits of anger Is beyond repair When our daily prayers fall on deaf ears again We can singalong oh Singapore When our faces frown in the sunshine Like the air that leaves every song When our river snakes in the shady spot We can crawl along there on our killing floor Is what we're living for What do we do now? Do we all just sit there? And watch it all go under many times over The devil may care When our daily woes go unheard of in the night We can singalong oh Singapore When our river snakes into nightmares We can crawl along on all fours When our river is the stubborn one We can crawl along there on our killing floor Is what we're dying for
