Lyrics

Why are we here? what's life all about?
Is god really real, or is there some doubt?
Well, tonight, we're going to sort it all out
For, tonight, it's 'the meaning of life'

What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and the egg time? are we just yolks?
Or, perhaps, we're just one of god's little jokes
Well, ça c'est 'the meaning of life'

Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we're searching for something to say
Or are we just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating dn-- nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay

What is life? what is our fate?
Is there a heaven and hell? do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving, or is it too late?
Well, tonight, here's 'the meaning of life'

For millions, this 'life' is a sad vale of tears
Sitting 'round with really nothing to say
While the scientists say we're just simply spiralling coils
Of self-replicating dn-- nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay

So, just why-- why are we here
And just what-- what-- what-- what do we fear?
Well, ce soir, for a change, it will all be made clear
For this is 'the meaning of life'. c'est le sens de la vie
This is 'the meaning of life'
