End of the World (One More Time)

Something weird happened on the way to the store
Trying to buy a rifle and a record and more
Shocked like a cattle-prod
Hit me on the head
Like a premonition from a prophet in red
Sky rockets in sight
Get ready for a fight
Hey Hey!
It’s gonna get ugly like a hacked-off hand
For reaching for a little more than the common man
All in good time
The cut’s gonna heal
Even in the worst sun
Burn’s gotta peel
We get to the bottom
I can see the sign
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
Synchronized dancer’s like zombies in the street
Singing for a supper that you never wanna eat
Taking what they’re giving
But the giving is pissed
Looking at guitars
Like, «What the hell’s this?»
Sky rockets in flight
Get ready for a fight
Hey Hey!
I can see the headlines
Ain’t no joke
The party finally stopped
When the laptop broke
All in good time
The cut’s gonna heal
Even in the worst sun
Burn’s gotta peel
We get to the bottom
I can see the sign
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
Hey Hey!
Don’t worry ‘bout me
I’m doing just fine
Standing on the street corner
Flipping this sign
Working while the DJ drinks his wine
While an auto-pilot iPod
Shuffles in time
Sky rockets in sight
Get ready for the fight
We gotta go to battle
If we wanna win the war
Time to stop the party
When your hair gets sore
But all in good time
The cut’s gonna heal
Even in the worst sun
Burn’s gotta peel
We get to the bottom
I can see the sign
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
It’s the end of the world
Yeah, one more time
Hey Hey!
