It's not the time for fancy dress yet
We're living through our Great Depression
The way we feel is written on our face
So ashamed to be modern-western
So worn down, the world's a mess
And this car crash of a year gets worse and worse
But it's the sweetest thing to see you smile
Please do so much more of that
Though there's a million reasons not to
Maybe we'll stumble on a fortune in the
Basement of an antique home abandoned oh so long ago
I know you don't quite love our chances
But bear in mind the great romances of the
Books you read when you were young
If it all goes wrong, we'll all just run away
Speak this out into existence
"Everything is fine"
And I know it only takes a minute
To tell yourself otherwise
Are we really gonna settle for ambivalence?
Is it really necessary to enable it?
We didn't listen
We're done listening
All the bad times gradually dissipate
Show me the art life is trying hard to imitate
It's unbelievable
What a run of bad luck
In times of stress
We see our worst and best
Speak this out into existence
"Everything is fine"
And I know it only takes a minute
To tell yourself otherwise
We've all been waiting for the end
Instead of looking straight ahead
We've all been waiting for the end
Waiting for the end
We've all been waiting for the end
Instead of looking straight ahead
We've all been waiting for the end
Instead of looking straight ahead
Waiting through the seasons
What's for us won't go past
Is this the end?
