In the year 2000 |
|
my age was 53 |
|
born in the first half |
|
of the last century |
|
I always was post-modern |
|
but that's ancient history |
|
Now I'm the last man on Earth |
|
that's what the matter is with me |
|
I guess I'm old fashioned |
|
Retro to a degree |
|
you could say I'm a throw-back |
|
anachronistically |
|
air conditioning is here to stay |
|
and that makes me unhappy |
|
cause I'm the last man on Earth |
|
that's what the matter is with me |
|
I don't have a portfolio |
|
I gotta pleed guilty |
|
the best things are the worthless now |
|
that's just because they're free |
|
and if your not a millionaire yet |
|
boy, you better be |
|
Now, I'm the last man on Earth |
|
that's what the matter is with me |
|
I should be optimistic |
|
and go buy some bonds and stocks |
|
They'll find a cure for Cancer soon |
|
we may get trigger-locks |
|
existence is no picnic |
|
as statistics all have shown |
|
we learn to live together |
|
and then we die alone |
|
everybody's got a website |
|
but that's all Greek to me |
|
I don't own a computer |
|
I hate that letter "e" |
|
I don't pack a cell phone |
|
or drive an SUV |
|
Yes, I'm the last man on Earth |
|
that's what the matter is with me |
|
I'm the last man standing |
|
save the last dance for me |
|
I've taken the last train to Clarksville |
|
I'm the fifth monkey |
|
nice guys always finish last |
|
no one's nicer than me |
|
Yeah, I'm the last man on Earth |
|
That's what the matter is with me |
|
Kid's used to say their prayers at night |
|
before they went to bed |
|
St. John told us that God is love |
|
Nichiei said he was dead |
|
this thing we call existence |
|
who knows what it all means? |
|
Time and Life and People |
|
are just glossy magazines |
|
I sat and watched those guys |
|
debate each other on TV |
|
politicians, wrestlers |
|
they're all the same to me |
|
hey, I don't give a damn |
|
which idiot runs this country |
|
Since I'm the last man on Earth |
|
It don't matter to me |
|
In the year 2000 |
|
my age was 53 |
|
I know that I'm grumpy |
|
middle-aged crazy |
|
but if you are a woman |
|
you might have to sleep with me |
|
Since I'm the last man on Earth |
|
and I can guarantee |
|
I'm the last man on Earth |
|
and there ain't nothing wrong with me |
