(You Only Get One) Apocalypse — The Pryme Maytz

The sky is falling, the oceans boil Everybody's fighting over who owns the soil The rich bought tickets to the front-row seats While the poor sell souvenirs in the burning streets The prophets are screaming, the preachers are paid The politicians promise that we'll all be saved Someone built a wall to keep the meteors out And somebody else is suing over fallout! It's a once-in-a-lifetime catastrophe! The grand finale of humanity! We had one chance to get it right But we're arguing about who gets to die tonight! This is your apocalypse! You only Get One! It's the final anniversary Of everything you've done! Screw it, you're gonna mess it up, too! Like every other thing you do! The world is ending, have some fun! You only get one apocalypse! One! One! One! You only get one! One! One! One! And look what you've done! The horsemen arrived, but nobody cared They couldn't get permits for the horses they shared Death took a number and waited in line While Pestilence sold bottled water from 19-ninety-nine! War got sponsored by a television show Famine went viral about an hour ago The Antichrist tried to make a speech But the microphone broke and the crowd yelled, "WEEK!!" Oh, what a beautiful catastrophe! A final demonstration of democracy! Everyone's got an opinion to share While the planet explodes and nobody cares! This is your apocalypse! You only Get One! It's the final anniversary Of everything you've done! Screw it, you're gonna mess it up, too! Like every other thing you do! The world is ending, have some fun! You only get one apocalypse! We could've gone out singing! We could've gone out proud! We could've held each other As the heavens tumbled down! But somebody started charging For the privilege to breathe! And somebody bought the rights To the air we're gonna leave! We made the end a business! We made disaster chic! We put a price on judgment day And sold it by the week! And when the heavens opened And God looked down to see, He said, "I gave you one apocalypse. How'd you ruin even this for me?" You broke the planet! You broke the moon! You broke the ending! That means no sequel just for you fool! You broke the silence! You broke the peace! You found a way TO MONETIZE THE BEAST! THIS IS YOUR APOCALYPSE! YOU ONLY GET ONE! IT'S THE FINAL ANNIVERSARY! OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE! Screw it, you're gonna mess it up, too! There's nothing left for you to ruin! Raise your glass to the dying sun! You only get one apocalypse! One last sunset... One last fight... One last chance... To get something right... The earth went quiet. The heavens cleared. The universe sighed... And the last human voice sed— "Humanity was mid."
