lyrics

It’s the end of the world again
Got the tickets early and we’re standing in line
It’s the end of the world again
Everybody’s certain of it one more time

Tell me all about the calendar the Mayans figured out
Before they all disappeared in mystery
They didn’t have a future, but we all have no doubt
They knew the punch line of our history

It’s the end of the world again
Got the tickets early and we’re standing in line
It’s the end of the world again
Everybody’s certain of it one more time

Accurate predictions all indicate our doom
Things that eluded our detection
An age of truth and beauty, or else it goes kabloom
Fourty five days past the election

After the warning
Here comes the morning
Just a life of earthly bliss
Sun keeps burning
World keeps turning
We just can’t go on like this

All that evolution since we crawled out of the slime
Indebted to everything that made me
If this is as high as we are ever gonna climb
We can just sit back and be lazy

It’s the end of the world again
Got the tickets early and we’re standing in line
It’s the end of the world again
Everybody’s certain of it one more time
