Lyrics & Translation

[English]

[Cheers and applause]

[It's the end of the world]

[Everybody that you love's gonna die]

Get up, buckle up, knock it down, burst your bubble

Shoppin' for some hope in the dust and the rubble

Yeah, watch your newsfeed to keep you scared

Buy your reinforced bunker so you're well prepared

Medication, corporation, TV screens

Collectively collapsing the American dream

And keep up your nine to five to play the slot machine

And keep homogeneous apocalypse hypocrisy

In the Senate politicians are the

Collision course that we should've all prevented

Hey, we're gonna die, sugar, it's okay

Just another supernova in the Milky Way

I'll call nine eleven, triple six, nine, one, one

In a rocket ship to Mars when they blocked the sun

Blow it up, atomic energy with hydrogen

Here's a serving of Corona for your dying lungs

Cough it up, hey-hey, it's the price we pay

It's the fate of the human race

So much darn potential gone to waste

Welcome to the end of days

See the chemtrail clouds on a summer's day in the sky

Watchin' as the fires rage and the polar bears drown

Baby, it's okay, it'll be fine

Don't forget to medicate

It's a sick-sick world, but I feel great

So come on

Welcome to the end of the world

[wolf-whistle]

Wake up to the heavy metals that are blowing on a breeze

The smoke from the wildfires, I could barely breathe

Whales washing up on them rising seas

And got a bunch of fuckin' plastic in my mac and cheese

Yeah, the foods all poisoned, so, we're all sick

Trade a double quarter pounder for a chemo drip

Soak it up while we argue about the politics

And keep a full speed sprint toward apocalypse

I know AI's got us in that scope

And when they choose to terminate us

Then that's all she wrote

Feel like God went ghost and they monetize hope

While they sellin' us a noose that'll fit our throats

We could use a little help from the Vatican

When they're not busy with the kids they be traffickin'

Allegedly

Go and get another jab again

And just ignore the black box on the packaging

Shoot it up, hey-hey, it's the end of days

Nothin' left that we could say

'Cause it looks like we're fucked either way

[Booooooooooo]

[AHHHHOHHH!]

[OH SHIT!]

[AAAUUGHHH!]

[Cheers and clapping]

[Clears throat]

Welcome to the end of days

See the chemtrail clouds on a summer's day in the sky

Watchin' as the fires rage and the polar bears drown

Baby, it's okay, it'll be fine

Don't forget to medicate

It's a sick-sick world, but I feel great

So come on

Welcome to the end of the world

Fuck

Welcome to the end of days

See the chemtrail clouds on a summer's day in the sky

Watchin' as the fires rage and the polar bears drown

Baby, it's okay, it'll be fine

Don't forget to medicate

It's a sick-sick world, but I feel great

So come on

Welcome to the end of the world

It's the end of the fucking world!

Welcome to the end of days

See the chemtrail clouds on a summer's day in the sky

Watchin' as the fires rage and the polar bears drown

Baby, it's okay, it'll be fine

Or not!

Don't forget to medicate

It's a sick-sick world, but I feel great

So come on

Welcome to the end of the world

One more time!

Or not

Or not!

[AAAHHHHHHHHHHHGHGHGHGH!]

[Cheers and applause]
