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 _____________________________________________________________________ *Taken from the album entitled "The Vegetarians of Love" Written by Bob Geldof
