Lyrics

The Joker's on the phone
Says Coco the clown has got the throne
And the king is just a 3D A.I. clone
Yes he's an overweight success
It's on our feeds and in the press
Do what he says you know it's in your best interest
Meanwhile
The Devil's child
Beckons you, to come on in
And welcomes you with a grin

At the end of the world, you and I
Can't seem to make a difference, whatever we try
between the fire, and the abyss
Have we no better choice than this
At the end of the world, you and I
We set the course, based on a lie
Though we had chosen the strength of a kiss
All we have left is the fist
At the end of the world
At the end of the world

It's getting harder now to breath
But in Donald Duck we do believe
We're watching all the shows now on constant repeat
Though the world's still spinning round
The shopping channels down
They say the war is won, but they're still killing
Cut to
The larger view
One by one, the lights go dim
Have we time for one more hymn?

CHORUS

Time is a freight train
Time is not elastic
Unless you exist
In a world of mathematics
Time is your master
He's pulling the strings
He'll show the worth of material things

Time is the figure
Who is holding the scythe
Time is the broker
At the end of your life
Time is a cheat
Time is not your friend
As every living being finds out in the end (of the world)

SOLO
CHORUS
