nice of you to join me here

at the end of our era

at the close of our time

tidal waves swipe clean entire cities

industries cannot avail

society feels the loosening of its boundaries

and al the achievements of humanity

dissolve like salt in a torrent

nice of you to join me here

at the called time of our efforts

our generation watches all its good overturned

by maniacs who will destroy what they claim to uphold

you fools you fools you wicked rotten evil fools

where are the floods to wash away fundamentals and extremists

and the sad simple brain dead wondering what happened

to the cartoons and the newspapers and everything that was

supposed to be around forever

nice of you to be with me here

as we all despair of this world of pure hell

as we all mourn the price of sin unending

as we pray for the fallen and all the past
