"SO GET UP"
.......................................................
THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US
PRETTY SOON IT’LL ALL TURN TO DUST
SO GET UP
FORGET THE PAST
GO OUTSIDE
HAVE A BLAST
GO A THOUSAND MILES IN A JET AIRPLANE
GO OUT OF YOUR MIND GO INSANE
TO A PLACE YOU NEVER BEEN BEFORE
EAT ICE CREAM OUR YOU’LL LICK THE FLOOR
CUZ, THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US
PRETTY SOON IT’LL ALL TUN TO DUST
GOODBYE MY FRIENDS
GOODBYE WORLD
I’LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE
