about

Some folks seem to want to bring on the end of the world as quickly as possible. I'm thinking they might come to regret that attitude.

lyrics

If you could stop tryina bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really swell
I’m not just asking for the heathens
I’m not worried about going to hell
You’re not the first person to read Revelations
Even satan knows the Bible well
If you could stop tryin’a bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really swell

If you could stop tryina bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really fab
You may be looking for a holy war
But the people in charge just want a power grab
Tearing up the planet like there’s no tomorrow
and the rest of us are picking up the tab
If you could stop tryin a bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really fab

Is this like when you were five years old
Waiting to see Santa’s face
Except instead of leaving out cookies and milk
You left a big pile of nuclear waste

If you could stop tryin’a bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really great
Hiding in your underground bunker
Eating beef jerky while you sit and wait
Well there’s work to be done and there’s people to help
and Jesus is running late
If you could stop tryin’a bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really great

Would Jesus wish for Armageddon
I’m not so sure he would
You can be so heavenly minded
That you’re no damn earthly good

If you could stop tryina bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really nice
You think you’re ready to meet your maker
Well you may just wanna think twice
If you haven’t yet learned to love thy neighbor
Better put those plans on ice
If you could stop tryina bring on the apocalypse
That’d be really nice
That’d be really fantastic
