Slick Will & The Layabouts - When The World Ends

You and I
We could spend the rest of our lives
Watching the kids fight
But it'd be fine if we had each other
It's a long shot
But it's the only one we've got
If the world won't change
I'd change the world for you
It's time to accept it
That everything's gone to shit
If I can't change it
I wanna watch the world burn with you
What if we could go back
To all those hours of darkness and pain
Replace them with something better?
Would it make a difference?
Would it give us shelter?
Would it mean a better forever?
It's past time to admit
That everything's gone to shit
If I can't change it
I wanna watch the world burn with you
The parents have wrought discord
Between the sisters and brothers
And yet the kids keep saying
Thank you sir, may I have another
We need to try to find a way
We're losing them to apathy, (prescribed obfuscation)
They're slipping, maybe it's ok
Destruction's just another form of creation
It's time to accept it
That everything's gone to shit
Since I can't change it
I wanna watch the world burn with you
I hope when the world ends
I can breathe a sigh of relief
With so much to look forward to
Because in the end I'll be with you
