lyrics

Stocks falling, banks calling,
canceling loans.
Store hackers, phone taps—
we’re never alone.

Blood-spillers, spree-killers
counting their score
with mad bombers, Jeff Dahlmers
right out your door.

That’s why I’m sitting one mile underground with you
waiting for the world to end.

Flesh-eating diseases
spread everywhere,
with bird flu, the plague too,
infecting the air.

Pandemics, sick medics,
bugs in your bed.
Ebola all over—
we’re already dead.

That’s why I’m waiting in these catacombs with you
while the fires of hell descend.
I’m sitting one mile underground with you
waiting for the world to end.

The food will last us a thousand years,
the water filtered and pure.
We’ll close our eyes and sing lullabies
as the planet goes to war.
We’re waiting out the

earth-quaking ground-shaking
Richter 10-ohs.
On high seas, tsunamis
drowning cities below.

Winds swirling, trees burning,
mountains erupt,
each day DOA
once the nukes blow us up.

That’s why I’m sitting one mile underground with you
waiting for the world to end.

Kids screaming, loud eating
each time I dine.
Slow walkers, fast talkers
cutting in line.

Unkindness defined us;
this can’t be denied,
but they’ll all go to hell
when the zombie hordes rise.

That’s why I’m waiting in these catacombs with you
while the fires of hell descend.
I’m sitting one mile underground with you
waiting for the world to end.

We won’t be part of the bloodshed now.
The bombings won’t make a sound.
We’ll plug our ears and remember the years
when a good man could be found.
We’re waiting for the end.

That’s why I’m waiting in these catacombs with you
while the fires of hell descend.
I’m sitting one mile underground with you
waiting for the world to end.

That’s why I’m telling you the world we knew is doomed.
Is that so hard to comprehend?
I’m sitting one mile underground with you
waiting for the world to end.
