Though it strikes you as seeming a little absurd  I'm here to announce the end of the world  It'll happen sometime between now and high noon  It doesn't give you much time as it's happening real soon  It'll start with a whimper, it'll end with a bang  It'll leave a big hole where we could have sang    This is the end  The end of the world  For five thousand years  You must surely have heard  Nostradamus and Jesus and Buddah and Me  We said it was coming  Now just wait and see    So everyone outside look up at the sky  It's the last time you'll see it so wave it goodbye  You took it for granted you thought it was free  Say goodbye to the leaves, the trees, and the sea  There's nothing more useless than a car that won't start  But it's even more useless at the end of the world
