The world's greatest detective

Do we think about the lives we've led
Or where we'll go when we are dead?
Of course we do
Do we pack it in and hedge our bets
Or believe, every now and then
That we made the best of it?
Do we live for a paycheck?
Would we pay for a new life?
Spend all our days in a world that is plagued
By motivations that are selfish at best
Lock our hopes up in our head
And hope that we can forget
