[edit] Lyrics
When I wrote this I was dreaming
So excuse me if it goes astray
When I woke up this morning
Could have sworn it was judgment day
The sky was all purple
There were people running everywhere
I tried to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care
Everybody's got a bomb, we could all die here today
But if I'm gonna die I'm gonna fuck my life away
They say two thousand zero, zero, party over, oops, out of time
The world spreads its legs like it's 1999
