Lately, it's like the world's been sneaking off its orbit
drought, flood, drought, flood getting harder to ignore it
anxious days, shops are out of bread and
everyone's getting ready for a balmy armageddon
mirrors are shattering daily
networks fail, mistaking goosebumps for braile t
v news readers have forgotten how to smile
but i don't swallow that pill, i keep my eye on my own pile
see this is my house, and this is my yard
and this is my veggie patch where i work real hard
i've got a lock on my gate, a diesel generator
i can't save the planet, but i'll leave a pretty crater

Everything's crumbling but there's gardens to tend
I'll just water my zucchini
and wait for the world to end
what else is there to do?
waiting for the world to end

I think it's gonna happen soon all the birds have left town
crinkle in the moon and the river's running brown
my friends are building bunkers, the power keeps dying
creeks are drying up and the stop signs aren't lying
i've been watching all the trees fall down
horizon smoke rising darker by the day
i've been watching trees fall like puppets with cut strings
dedicated atheists are learning to pray
yesterday the neighbours bolted, i didn't bother waving
i'm craving foods that no longer exist
phone lines are down but there's no-one left to call
anyway, pessimistic? i'd say that i'm a realist

Everything's crumbling but there's gardens to tend
I'll just water my zucchini
and wait for the world to end
this is how i do
waiting for the world to end

It's been at least a week since i saw another person
even the rats are dispersing
my supplies are running out and i'm not sure if i care
the air itself is dying
multiplying flies rise like steam
dreams pollinate reality
red dust clouds make the whole world sepia
throw your watches in the river
they are worthless now
they are worthless now
it's all worthless now
throw your watches in the river

Everything's crumbling
it's all worthless now
waiting for the world to end
