Man is born, man lives, man dies

And it′s all vanity

And that's about the way it is with the merry-go-roundYou get on

You go around

Standing in the saddle

Man is born

Man lives

Man dies

And it′s all vanity

He tried thrills

He said "I gave myself to enjoy pleasure"

What are teenagers doing today?

They're trying every thrill there is in the books

We've got colored TV

But it still isn′t satisfying

Man is born

Man lives

Man dies

And it′s all vanity

You can't understand it, it′s going so loud, and so forth

And they're all wigglin′ and wobblin' around and everything else and

And yet, they feel unsatisfied

And these disc jockeys they say here is a tune that is different

Man is born, man lives, man dies

And it′s all vanity

You can't understand it, it's going so loud, and so forth

And they′re all wigglin′ and wobblin' around and everything else and

And yet, they feel unsatisfied

And these disc jockeys they say here is a tune that is different

Hear the tone that is different

Man is born, man lives, man dies

And it′s all vanity
