|
Ladies and Gentlemen pull out your hankies |
|
Lou Gehrig was the Pride of the Yankees |
|
Mothers and Daddies, wrap up your children |
|
King Kong has fallen off the building today |
|
The sky is falling the sky is falling |
|
Wish I could hideaway safe in the mall |
|
Something is constantly scheming and brewing |
|
To make our lives a disaster movie |
|
And all of the pundits and bandits and speakers |
|
And gadgets and two hundred dollar sneakers |
|
Will all be so useless in conjuring Jesus |
|
In baseball and science and naming diseases away |
|
Too many firemen and virgins in heaven |
|
It's all been fucked up since Nine Eleven |
|
What we're all fighting and what we're defending |
|
One big long story with two different endings today |
|
Now I am holding you here in my arms |
|
Trying my best to shelter you from harm |
|
When everything is so crazy and wrapped up in shiny |
|
Problems so big and you're so tiny today |
