Swing Through The Apocalypse

Listen to that static sound
Like a prickle on your mind
It’s the sound of paranoia
Scratching at the end of time
Visions of dead animals
In a sea of oil and rust
Expanding hills of plastic
With a brownish yellow crust

I need to get a breakdown
To escape this mental funk
Scraps of paper in my pocket
Say “In God We Trust” and junk
It looks like the sky is falling
There is a crack in everything
The end of the world is coming soon
That’s why we gotta swing

Swing through the Apocalypse
That’s the treatment I prescribe
Amongst the reams of twisted metal
We’ll be shaking our fat jive
Get groovy as your bones break
And your flesh melts from your hands
Pull the switch and execute
For one last sacred dance

There’s no escaping nature
Our grim fates are intertwined
Wrapped around society
Like a tangled mass of vines
You can say you ain’t mad at it
As you have your final fling
The whole damn world is burning down
That’s why we gotta swing
