Tom MacDonald & John Rich From the album End of the World
I know the end is near
The television tellin’ lies
I know for sure the
Revolution won’t be televised
I know that we been waiting
Patiently for better times
We fell asleep, and men are blind
Can’t recognize it’s genocide
Feel like the bomb about to
Drop out of the clouds
Another virus goin’ airborne
Go hide inside your house
Farmers watching crops die
They drying up with droughts
Angry people forming crowds and try
To burn the cities down this is Armageddon
Martial law for our protection
I talked to God but it’s long
Distance and I lost reception
Forest fires and oil spills
Are the awful lessons
I’m just waiting for the devil
To take over heaven
This is biblical, I swear it’s in the Bible
We keep killing one another and
We dyin’ for survival
We used to fight for peace
Put flowers in their rifles
Now we’re ’bout to be extinct, every man
Woman and child
Chorus:
If it’s the end of the world
I will do better next time
Oh yeah, I know it yeah, I know it
If it’s the end of the world I know that
I have lived my life to the fullest
Yeah, the fullest
We stood on top of mountains
We’ve been to space before
We had our dogs in houses
We dug up dinosaurs
We built the bombs they’re droppin’
We fought in all their wars
Now that the sky is falling
What did we do it for?
Feels like the end is
Near, our freedom’s disappearing, ah
People playing God, call
It genetic engineering, ah
Media misleading us and evil’s
Interfering while the government
We need became the power that we’re fearing
Our billionaires are going to space
Don’t blame them leaving
Birds are falling out the air
Fish washing up on our beaches
This is end time, humans got a deadline
Children were the future till we
Ruined them with headlines
Should be past their bedtime
But everyone’s woke
They told us “chase a dollar”
Then made everyone broke
I feel like cryptocurrency is probably
Our last financial hope
Soon enough the government will leave
Your bank account froze
Judgment day is coming
You can run or you can stand and fight
Panic in the dark or lead
Rebellions by the candlelight
This ain’t your granddaddy’s planet earth
It’s black and white the end is coming
I’ll see y’all in the afterlife
Chorus:
If it’s the end of the world
I will do better next time
Oh yeah, I know it yeah, I know it
If it’s the end of the world I know that I have lived my life to the fullest
Yeah, the fullest
We stood on top of mountains
We’ve been to space before
We had our dogs in houses
We dug up dinosaurs
We built the bombs they’re droppin’
We fought in all their wars
Now that the sky is falling
What did we do it for?
It’s the end of the world, as we know it
And it’s our fault that it’s over
While we look down at our phones they’ll
Drop a bomb from a drone
Then an explosion, we should’ve known it
We stood on top of the mountains
We’ve been to space before
We had our dogs in houses
We dug up dinosaurs
We built the bombs they’re droppin’
We fought in all their wars
Now that the sky is falling
What did we do it for?
