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
