Faith No More - Everything's Ruined

We were so happy Things worked out better than we had planned Capital from boy, woman and man We were like ink and paper Numbers on a calculator Knew arithmetic so well Working overtime Completed what was assigned We had to multiply ourselves A bouncing little baby A shiny copper penny And he spent himself Would not listen to us But when he lost his appetite He lost his weight in friends He became a fat nickel so fast Then came puberty Exponentially Soon our boy became a million People loved him so And helped him to grow Everyone knew the thing that was best Of course, he must invest A penny won't do, no A penny won't do, no A penny won't do, no A penny won't do, no But he made us proud He made us rich And how were we to know He's counterfeit Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah Now everything's ruined, yeah
