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
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
