Same as it was, same as it ever will be
Is that nonsense now? It sounds like it to me
So I sat for a while on the lip of my stoop
Wondering what in the world what it was I could do
But if I fell on a clue, well, I wouldn't know what it means
So say hey to the zombies out in Rockaway
They live to fight for another day
You wake up in the morning, and you're still OK
But God knows where it's going
Some people wanna see the world in flames
Some people wanna have a god to blame
I don't wanna live here alone
♪
You know, not in the time that I've been on Earth
Have I taken such stock of what I'm worth
And I can't help but feel a little hurt
To find out where I'm at
But what you gonna do, sit around and die
Or grab yourself a bagel and say alright?
These days bring tears to the hardest eyes
Might as well leave it at that
And say hey to the zombies out in Rockaway
They live to fight for another day
You wake up in the morning, and you're still OK
But God knows where it's going
Some people wanna see the world in flames
Some people wanna have a god to blame
I don't wanna live here alone
No, I don't wanna live here alone
Or it's just another sign that the end is near!
So pack up your things and get out of here
Everybody acts so cavalier when the house is honestly on fire
Someday someone's gonna make some sense
But you might be dead or irrelevant
These truths we hold self-evident
They're nothing but a funeral pyre
So now, now, baby, in the skin-tight top
I don't wanna scare you with the blues I've got
But once I start, I just can't stop
And God knows where it's going
Some people wanna be real well-known
Written in the folds of a rolling stone
I don't wanna live here alone
No, I don't wanna live here alone
♪
Is it same as it was, same as it ever will be?
Am I useless now? I don't wanna believe
Well, if I were king, I'd have fixed all this
Reached in my pocket and covered it
And you'd never even know how bad it all could be
But it's hey to the zombies out in Rockaway
They live to die on another day
You wake up in the morning and nothing's changed
It's either death or methadone
You know some people think they've got it figured out
Some people get up on the roof and shout
And think they're right just because they're loud
And so proud of what they know
Some people wanna see the world in flames
Some people wanna have a god to blame
I don't wanna live here alone
I don't wanna live here alone
I don't wanna live here alone
I don't wanna live here alone
I don't wanna live here alone
I don't wanna live here alone
