Well. it's a great big world
That's filled with disappointment
We're maggots in the ointment
Just squirming to get free
And now the future's got
Much more than you can handle
Don't try to light a candle
Let's curse the misery
And as we head for certain doom,
Don't give up so soon
'Til every one of us is dead
And vengeful Armageddon has arrived.
[Chorus]
'Cause we'll have a drink
And throw a parade
And greet the rapture
Screaming "Hurray!"
And hope someone jumps
On the grenade
But no one will
We'll all be killed
And we will thrill
As blood is spilled
And even the bravest
Of us run away
We'll all get laid.
'Cause you still got dreams
That haven't been pissed on
And you still got things
You'll never get done
And you'll keep on running
Like a rat on a wheel
And keep on wondering
What is the deal?
What was the point?
And how come it ends this way?
Well no one knows,
We've only got today
And as the lights go dim,
Don't think it's all so grim
At least we all go out together
Heading off to never-never land.
[Chorus: x2]
'Cause we'll have a drink
And throw a parade
And greet the rapture
Screaming "Hurray!"
And hope someone jumps
On the grenade
But no one will
We'll all be killed
And we will thrill
As blood is spilled
And even the bravest
Of us run away
We'll all get laid.
