Strangely Shaped by Fathers - The End of the World (Today)

The people have spoken and I'm feeling sick
Who could imagine things changing this quick
Frustrated, ignorant grasping at straws
These are the things that make people start wars
I tremble as everyday life starts to look
Like the opening chapters of an old history book
These were the dark days that caused Rome to fall
These were the factors that started it all

The end of the world
Comes without warning
The end of the world
Is today

A moment of madness undoing the years
Of progress it's taken to get us to here
Long battles fought and hard victories won
The evolution of civilization
Enlightenment can't last without any lights
And now we are facing the darkest of nights
Desperation giving way to despair
The people have spoken and I'm feeling scared

The comfort of thinking it can't happen here
Is the surest sign that it is already near
Right on your doorstep, right on your street
Amazing how well we can walk in our sleep
Napping our way through this democracy
Uninformed, responsibility-free
Until we awake and blink open our eyes
It's hard to believe that we're even surprised
