The Earth is over.
That’s what the scientists say.
No matter what we contend
we took a world and pissed it away.
It’s time to wind up our sad charade
and down some NyQuil,
take to the the bed we’ve made.
The Earth is over.
We've finally run out of luck.
With all our hustle and pluck
we’re not so much sapiens,
we’re more Homo schmuck.
It’s time to realize
we'll never mend.
Accept the break-up.
The Earth is over.
we'll never mend.
Accept the break-up.
The Earth is over.
It’s all over.
THE END.
