Well, it's a God-given fact That you can't go back, no you can't go back It's a God-given law That you're gonna lose your ma, yes, you're gonna lose your ma Well, it's a God-given fact You gotta buy 'em by the sack, gotta buy 'em by the sack Well, it's a God-given law That you're gonna get small, yes, you're gonna get small Maybe just another rap But you're running out of sap, yes, you're running out of sap Well, you'd better take the rap Dying under daddy's cap, dying under daddy's cap Shrivel up It's at the top of the list That you can't get pissed, no you can't get pissed It's rule number one Living right isn't fun, living right isn't fun Cause it's a God-given fact That you can't go back, no, you can't go back It's a god-given law That you're gonna lose your ma, yes, you're gonna lose your ma Time-tested and true You gotta pooty, poo-poo, gotta pooty, poo-poo Well, it's a God-given law That you're gonna get small, yes you're gonna get small Maybe just another rap But you're running out of sap, yes you're running out of sap Well, you'd better take the rap Dying under daddy's cap, dying under daddy's cap, now Oh, shrivel up Shrivel up Devo!
