Whacha been doin for so many years?
Whacha been doin?
Whacha been doin for so many years?
Whacha been doin?
When youre in your teens you see life as a dream
wanting so much to be what it seems.
You think you want to be that image you see
so you strut your stuff around just trying to please.
When youre in your twenties youre not sure what this means
young, nave your lights are shining green.
No matter what is said just hold on to your dream
not knowing what life really, really means.
Living sweet life from day-to-day
not caring whats on the way.
Your minds just too young to ask yourself
those questions you might ask today.
Whacha been doin for so many years?
Whacha been doin?
Whacha been doin for so many years?
Whacha been doin?
Funny in your thirties you start to worry
you go around doing things in a hurry
questioning yourself about what you planned
have you let some others play your hand?
When youve reach forty, Have you reached your glory
or are you just another unhappy story?
Slide into your fifties and then your search begins
you try to find that inner peace to save your skin.
Reflecting on all the things that youve seen
you scan your entire scene.
Now you can truly ask yourself
you can ask yourself today.
Whacha been doin for so many years?
Whacha been doin?
Whacha been doin for so many years?
Whacha been doin?
Sixty youve lived, you live, you exist.
Seventy, eighty tell me whats your wish?
Flashback ninety one hundred is next
then we go on to the next vortex.
(Chorus)
