Share The End
(carly simon/jacob brackman)
Here come the priests, each one wailing & bemoaning
Lordy, they got their heads bowed down
Here come the madmen, they're too excited for atoning:
"burn the mosque," they're shouting, "burn it down!"
Save me a place, surround me with friendly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames
Please, lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...
Here come the kings, let's dispense with their apologizing
Just bring on the acrobats & clowns
Here comes the rumble, hang on for universal dying
Please ignore the baying of the hounds
Save me a place, surround me with deadly faces
All of us have gathered here to share the end -
To watch the world go up in flames
Please, lord we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out...
Please, lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...
Please, lord we're not ready
Give us some time to work things out...
Please, lord we're not ready
Give us a day
Give us an hour...
