Everything’s Ruined Lyrics by Faith No More

The Very Best Definitive Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection

1992

[Intro]
We were so happy
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
A bouncing little baby
A shiny copper penny
[Chorus 1]
And he spent himself
Would not listen to us
But when he lost his appetite
He lost his weight in friends
[Verse 2]
He became a fat nickel so fast
Then came puberty
Exponentially
Soon our boy became a million
[Chorus 2]
People loved him so
And helped him to grow
Everyone knew the thing that was best
Of course, he must invest
[Post-Chorus]
A penny won't do, no
A penny won't do, no
A penny won't do, no
A penny won't do, no
[Bridge]
But he made us proud
He made us rich
And how were we to know
He's counterfeit?
[Outro]
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
