On the last day of the world
On the last day of history
Im gonna live like I always wanted
Im gonna live like I really was free
And when it finally happens
When they say it on tv
You can bet your life that Ill be the first one
Dancing in the street
Youll have your scientist expert nuclear physicist
Saying that he cant explain
Maybe its a meteor nuclear bomb missile launch
A final plague acid rain
Then hell tell you its the last day of your life
And you must not leave your home
Therell be millions of people all around the world
Praying to the cnn God alone
But Im gonna dance and Im gonna sing
When I hear those words said
Im gonna smash my favorite guitar
Burn every book Ive ever read
Then Im gonna gather all my friends together
Well get drunk and well get high
And then well chain smoke cigarettes
It doesnt matter cos were all gonna die
Im gonna tear down the main city street
In a stolen police car
Record the worlds trashiest song
And make myself a star
Then Im gonna come back home and sit and think
About every word Ive said
Take a photo of myself as a souvenir
cos by the end of the day Ill be dead
And then Ill come round to your place
With a flower and a song
Im gonna rest my tired head in your lap
And cry about all the things Ive done wrong
Then Im 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
