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
