♫ Naturally the dying
man wonders to himself
♫ His commentary been more
lucid than anybody else
♫ And had he successfully
beaten back the rising tide
♫ Of idiots, dilettantes and fools
♫ Were on his watch while he was alive
♫ Lord, just a little more time
♫ Oh, in no time at all
♫ This will be the distant past
♫ Ooh
♫ So says the dying
man once I’m in the box
♫ Just think of all the
overrated hacks running amok
♫ And all of the pretentious
♫ Ignorant voices that will go unchecked
♫ The homophobes, hipsters and 1%
♫ The false feminists
he’d managed to detect
♫ Oh, who will critique
them once he’s left
♫ Oh, in no time at all
♫ This will be the distant past
♫ What he’d give for one
more day to rate and analyze
♫ The world made in his
image as of yet to realize
♫ What a mess
♫ To leave behind
♫ Eventually the dying
man takes his final breath
♫ But first checks his newsfeed
♫ To see what he’s about to miss
♫ It occurs to him a
little late in the game
♫ We leave as clueless as we came
♫ From the rented heavens
to the shadows in the cave
♫ We’ll all be wrong someday
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
♫ Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
