The Lyrics
It's the galactic alignment, solstice point
On aeroplane, if you're past the TSA
Sandy, the hurricane, Staten Island homes burn
Some serve their own needs, hoarders plant your own seeds
Take it from the Maya, new b'ak'tun [1]
John Boehner [2] starts to clammer down the fiscal cliff
Pants are on fire, twenty-twelve Olympic Games
A government of liars and which has no shame
Allen West was voted out of office, occupiers breathing down our necks
Those mainstream reporters baffled, trumped by the blogs
Look at the folks paying fines, men
Borders overflow, immigration, common good, but in whose mind?
Save yourself, serve yourself, hoard for your own needs, satisfy your own greed
Waiting for the rapture with those nutballs on the right - right
You bitter-clinging, patriotic, teabag, racist [3], getting pretty pissed
Well, the end of the world didn't happen
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen
And we're still here
Taliban, by the hour, intervene with foreign powers
Let off steam, go team, listen to yourself scream
We're attacked in Benghazi, al-Qaeda blood letting
Hamas rockets escalate, wishing Jews would incinerate
Blame a film, blame Petraeus, stand down, stand down
Hostess Twinkies gone, Hokies will never fear Cavaliers [4]
Harry Reid, you lead a parliament, a parliament, a parliament of whores [5]
Talking to Obama, offered him alternatives and he declines
Well, the end of the world didn't happen
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes [6])
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
And we're still here (We're still here)
Well, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
And we're still here
The war on women in our lives, contraceptives, suicide, everyone is under fire
Albert Einstein, Vladimir Putin, Susan Rice and Sandra Fluke
Missile launcher, H-bomb, EMP [7], boom!
When he was younger was Obama smoking choom [8], right?
Right
Well, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
And we're still here
Well, the end of the world didn't happen
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
And we're still here
Well, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
And we're still here
Well, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
Yeah, the end of the world didn't happen (God only knows the time it comes)
And we're still here...
