End Of The World Lyrics - Something To Remember Me By - Ben Lee

On the last day of the world 

On the last day of history 

I'm gonna live like I always wanted 

I'm gonna live like I really was free 

And when it finally happens 

When they say it on TV 

You can bet your life that I'll be the first one 

Dancing in the street 

You'll have your scientist expert nuclear physicist 

Saying that he can't explain 

Maybe it's a meteor nuclear bomb missile launch 

A final plague acid rain 

Then he'll tell you it's the last day of your life 

And you must not leave your home 

There'll be millions of people all around the world 

Praying to the CNN god alone 

But I'm gonna dance and I'm gonna sing 

When I hear those words said 

I'm gonna smash my favorite guitar 

Burn every book I've ever read 

Then I'm gonna gather all my friends together 

We'll get drunk and we'll get high 

And then we'll chain smoke cigarettes 

It doesn't matter 'cos we're all gonna die 

I'm gonna tear down the main city street 

In a stolen police car 

Record the world's trashiest song 

And make myself a star 

Then I'm gonna come back home and sit and think 

About every word I've said 

Take a photo of myself as a souvenir 

'Cos by the end of the day I'll be dead 

And then I'll come round to your place 

With a flower and a song 

I'm gonna rest my tired head in your lap 

And cry about all the things I've done wrong 

Then I'm gonna look at you just one last time 

And smile at the life I chose 

Then let one final tear past my eye 

Before the world explodes
