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
Till every one of us is dead
And vengeful Armageddon has arrived

Cuz we’ll have a drink and throw a parade
And greet the rapture screaming "Hoary!"
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

Cuz 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

Cuz we’ll have a drink and throw a parade
And greet the rapture screaming "Hoary!"
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
We'll all get laid
