Existentialism in a nutshell:

There is only fear and loneliness
We live a life of the absurd
To walk around on "ant auto-pilot" (*)
Never free as a Bird

But even freedom binds us
For because we seek the truth
That when we find the answers
We loose the innocence of youth

In life there is no purpose
Who am I? Who is me?
To exist is to exist
All that life will ever be

So join we with Sisyphus
Rolling his rock up the hill
With existentialism
Life is always still

So, You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
Because if you try to live life, no matter what...you won't

(*) footnote: to get this, you would have had to have seen the film "waking life"
i was bored this morning because my first class of the day only occurs two out of five days of the week...and we've been reading a bunch of existentialist books in my lit class...so i wrote this!
