Life is suffering, tee-hee, haa-haa
Life is suffering, tee-hee, haa-haa
Cold and shuddering, tee-hee, haa-haa
Cruel and pummeling, tee-hee, haa-haa
(Chorus)
Smile on little Buddha, smile on
It's only illusion, then it's gone
Lost and struggling, tee-hee, haa-haa
Life is suffering, tee-hee, haa-haa
(Chorus)
Smile on little Buddha, smile on
Little Buddha, smile on
It's only illusion, then you're gone
