A cheerful little ditty about the End of the World and why we had it coming.

lyrics

They got big trouble over yonder
We got big trouble here at home
You know these hard times make me wonder
How much longer we can go on

We’ve got missiles from Korea
Mutant gonorrhea
A new Coronavirus
The terrorists in ISIS
Nuclear destruction
Volcanic eruptions
The heat death of the sun
Well, I guess we had a pretty good run

Now we’re waiting
Waiting for the world to end
We’re all just waiting
Waiting for the world to end

Florida’s full of anacondas
They got turned loose in a hurricane
We’ve got people
Shooting at first responders
The Divided States
Is our real name

We turn victims into villains
When racist cops are killing
We’ve got poison in the oceans
Can’t access our emotions
We can’t act our ages
Or earn no living wages
It’s killing everyone
So I hope somehow you had a little fun

(Cos now we’re waiting…)

After lighting comes the thunder
After pride always comes the fall
You know that I can’t help but wonder
If the world would be better
Without us all.

We’ve got mass incarceration
Rank disinformation
Congressional obstruction
CIA abductions.
When nothing is outrageous
About babies locked in cages,
Well, goodbye everyone.
I guess we had a pretty good run.

(But now we’re waiting…)
