lyrics

Well the world’s really fucked but this show will be pretty good
You might be asking yourself
Why do anything at all?
The world is big and fucked
and you are weak and small
Well, I ask you to ponder this?
How do you wanna spend your last days?
Well, all the cool kids I know are fighting as we go down in flames

As we go down in flames
As we go down in flames
It’s fun to spend an hour
Fighting those in power
Making art that says shit
Helping those who need it
Who knows if it matters at all?
What you do with your time is your call
Yeah the world’s really fucked but this show will be pretty good

You might be asking yourself
How will it all end?
Will it be a nuclear bomb?
Or just a long slow death full of inequality and fewer species?
Well no one really knows
We haven’t seen the end of that show
But hey, speaking of shows, this one will be pretty good

So as we go down in flames
As we go down in flames
It’s fun to spend an hour
Fighting those in power
Making art that says shit
Helping those who need it
Who knows if it matters at all?
To make music with you all
Yeah the world’s really fucked but this show will be pretty good

But speaking of the world
You shouldn’t worry too much
For all we know this planet’s here for cockroaches and molten sludge
And we are just a byproduct of some cosmic debris
And no one really cares at all but little old you and me

So as we go down in flames
As we go down in flames
It’s fun to spend an hour
Fighting those in power
Making art that says shit
Helping those who need it
Who knows if it matters at all?
To hang out and party with you all
Yeah the world’s really fucked but this show will be pretty good

Now with all that said
You should all do more
I mean, “should” is a funny word
But what I’m saying is you’d be a cooler person if you did more stuff
So let’s open up the border
And end racism and patriarchy
Yeah the world’s really fucked but this show will be pretty good

So as we go down in flames
As we go down in flames
It’s fun to spend an hour
Fighting those in power
Making art that says shit
Helping those who need it
Who knows if it matters at all?
What you do with your time is your call
Yeah the world’s really fucked I mean seriously holy shit like it’s a fucking disaster and like how do we even know like how we’re contributing to this planet like maybe our existence is harming more than it’s helping and like if that’s the case then like, how do we justify even just waking up in the morning let alone extending our existence by having more children i mean like, what is the goal here, like, where are we heading? And if it’s not somewhere good then like how do we even justify it, I mean our carbon footprints alone are like really hard to even answer for and so it’s like really important that we just try our hardest to make this existence mean something and do something with the very little amount of impact that we’re able to make I mean holy shit you guys like wake up, holy fuck we have to DO something but then again it’s like we have to take care of ourselves and so we have to like rest and we have to spend time with the people that we love otherwise we’re just too burnt out to make a difference so we just have to wrestle this like uh uh uh what do I do with myself each day every day it’s like a fucking struggle to figure out wh-how do you spend your time well and how you care about what you’ve done and how do you feel good about being on this planet when so much harm is being done in our names and for our own material benefit, I mean jesus christ
But this show will be pretty good
