The World Ends Today
The World Ends Today?
By Elton Camp
Well, the day of doom is finally here
The one that has millions in fear
I hear a loud, rumbling sound
And a light shaking of the ground
I wonder if I have been mistaken
More careful notice should’ve taken
Nope, I guess the world may remain
For it is only the passing of the train
I sure hope the end isn’t coming today
But, if so, then these bills I needn’t pay
As to those leaves in my front yard
Getting them up was gonna be hard
So if the Mayas made no mistake
I needn’t even get out the rake
The fiscal cliff we can forget
If nobody’s around to be hit
Let the taxes raise to the sky
Won’t matter if all are to die
The Mayas may be right, but I doubt it
If they are, we’ll soon know about it
I look out the window, tremble & shake
As I wonder what sound it’ll make
