Lyrics

When I wrote this I was dreamin' 
So excuse me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could have sworn it was judgment day

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' 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 it's legs like it's 1999!
