A World Run Amuck
An apple fell up out of the tree
Newton’s hypothesis has been revoked
Ships fell off the edge of the sea
The Earth being round was just a joke
Evolution as a theory turns out to be wrong
Men are still monkeys, don’t you know
Sirens of the sea are singing their song
Into their deadly clutches the sailor boys go
Dinosaurs never walked the earth
But aliens from outer space often did
The Chaos Principal has given new birth
To the secrets that science has hid
The sun rose in the West today
The moon dropped out of the sky
Hell managed to freeze over some way
We eliminated the English word, “Why”
Answers are wrong that once were right
Laws no longer apply
We sleep in the day and are active at night
Airplanes no longer can fly
Parallel lines now intersect
Circles have corners instead
Religious beliefs are circumspect
Lady Liberty stands on her head
Tomorrow might never arrive
The Mayan calendar might be correct
I just hope that I can survive
As this world becomes a wreck
