Lyrics

It’s the…. end of the line.
Don’t want to be late now
Just a… matter of time.
Speeding to the brink of mass extinction.

You emptied the seas.
So you bring the sushi.
Between you and me,
we’re speeding to the brink of mass extinction.

It’s the end of the world.
We’re havin a party.
At the end of the world the music has already started.
Pretty people… Too dumb to know it.
Too blonde to see it. Too drunk to notice.

All the people…. Too dumb to know it.
Too drunk to see it. And it’s too much, too much, too much, too much, too much.

You flattened the land.
I took the ozone.
We did all we can.
Speeding to the brink of mass extinction.

We do it so well.
Your car is so shiny.
On the… highway to hell.
Speeding to the brink of mass extinction.

It’s the end of the world.
We’re havin a party.
At the end of the world the music has already started.
Pretty people… Too dumb to know it.
Too blonde to see it. Too drunk to notice.

All the people… Too dumb to know it.
Too drunk to see it. And it’s too much, too much, too much, too much, too much.

I want to see it as the sun goes down.
I want to see it so lets stick around.
I want to see it as the sun goes down, sun goes down, sun goes down.

I want to see it as the sun goes down.
I want to see it so lets stick around.
I want to see it as the sun goes down, sun goes down, sun goes down.

It’s the end of the world.
We’re havin a party.
At the end of the world the music has already started. Yeah!

It’s the end of the world.
We’re havin a big party.
At the end of the world the music has already started. Yeah!

Pretty people… Too dumb to know it.
Too blonde to see it. Too drunk to notice.

All the people… Too dumb to know it.
Too drunk to see it. And it’s too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
