Russian Roulette
Us humans think we're so damn smart
And totally in control of things
Then a meteorite screams down from outer space
We're just puppets on a string
We certainly aren't the ones writing the script
In a flash we could all disappear
And become extinct like the dinosaurs did
Forever our greatest fear
So make sure you tell your dear little sweetie
That you love her a bunch every day
Life is like a game of Russian Roulette
Could end like a Ibsen play
Meteorites, asteroids, or volcanic eruptions
Any one could end our P-Soup
Happily it won't matter if our bills aren't paid
No one left to give a poop!
