This is the End of the World

Sometimes I think that I’ll wake up
From this horrible nightmare of a dream
It’s worse than any post apocalyptic movie
That I’ve ever seen

There are zombies in the streets
But they don’t want to eat our brains
No, they just want to buy more and more things

There are vampires in the shadows
But they don’t want to drink our blood
They feed on our hopes and dreams

And we’re not out of gasoline but our water is not safe to drink
And there’s not an inch of land that’s free
And none of this makes any sense to me

I’m getting sick of this capitalist apocalypse
I don’t think this is the world for me
The things that I own, they do not make me happy
The best things in life should be free

The robots haven’t risen
But it’s hard to tell the difference
When everyone’s got their eyes glued to a screen

We’re all living in two worlds
Both owned by corporations
We got two lives and two personalities

All the places that we used to go
Are haunted by the ghost of a better you and me
From back before we sold our souls

No alien invasion has happened so far
But how would we know when we don’t look at the stars
And the oceans haven’t drowned our cities yet
But soon the fish will all be dead

And the poor will stay poor
And the rich will stay rich
None of this makes any sense

I’m getting sick of this capitalist apocalypse
I don’t think this is the world for me
The things that I own, they do not make me happy
The best things in life should be free
