Beginning of the End
We all get beaten by the hammer of fate
Go to bed early or stay up late
It don't matter what's your regimen –
At a certain juncture the end will begin
Beginning of the end
Beginning of the end
J. F. Kennedy went for a ride
One motorcade later, our president had died
J. F. Kennedy Junior flew
Out in the rain and then he was through
Beginning of the end –
It’s the beginning of the end.
Now everybody gets what's coming his way,
I thought I heard the Greek philosophers say
Some folks think fate passes them by
Well tell that fable to Princess Di –
Of the beginning of the end
Back in kindergarten, I made a trap
Dug a hole near a tree full of sparrows and sap
Led a boy there and pushed him in
That was the beginning of original sin
The road of fury, the pathway of fate –
Everybody’s flyin cause everybody’s late
An’ there won’t be any pardon at the high golden gate
‘Cause we used our precious time to masturbate
Pull yourself over to the side of the road
Take a moment to reflect before the engine explodes
An’ the drivers pass you by all craning their necks
To see the latest and greatest of highway wrecks
I’m telling you children, the end ain’t no joke
When the whole human forest goes up in smoke
And that mansion in Death Valley gets blown to bits
‘Cause the whole world-psyche was on the fritz —
That’s the beginning of the end,
My beautiful friend.
