Oh, what a time to be alive!

Wake up and smell the dynamite

And keep your eyes locked tight to your screen

And don't believe everything that you see

You'll find, modern life's a catastrophe.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell?

Oh, we almost had it

Then we pissed it all away

Building walls, dropping bombs

Stop the world, I'm getting off

Oh, we almost had it

Never thought I'd see the day

When the world went up in flames

When the world went up in flames.

We all worship celebrities, desperate for an identity

But cigarettes and mdma don't give you substance

You don't think about what you say

'cause your mouth is bigger than your brain

It's a shame, so fake and you're all the same.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell?

Oh, we almost had it

Then we pissed it all away

Building walls, dropping bombs

Stop the world, I'm getting off

Oh, we almost had it

Never thought I'd see the day

When the world went up in flames.

There's a black cat up in the windows of parliament

There's a man in the back of a black cab, talking about the good days

When it all went up in flames

Happy judgement day

It all went up in flames

Happy judgement day.

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this could be farewell?

Oh, we almost had it

Then we pissed it all away

Building walls and dropping bombs

Stop the world, I'm getting off

It's been a long time coming

Never thought I'd see the day

It's been a long time coming

Never thought I'd see the day

When the world went up in flames

When the world went up in flames.
