lyrics

THE WORLD DIDN'T END TODAY
Artist: scraggo
Composer: David Emanuel Cohen

sun shining in on my eyes unfolding
temperatures seem to be nowhere near boiling
the meteor missed earth but you were hoping
that the world would end today, that the world would end today

flying saucers promised on May twenty first
to scoop up the pious and leave all the worst
but no plagues were sent and no dams burst
cuz the world didn’t end today, cuz the world didn’t end today
cuz the world didn’t end today

you believed all the hype
threw all your stuff away,
you spent all the money you should've saved,
your children will never respect you again,
cuz the world didn't end today

The doomsday leaders are as crazy as ever,
follow their lies and get your treats in heaven,
for now I'll stick with day-to-day living,
cuz the world didn't end today, cuz the world didn't end today

Blind faith is surely never innocent,
many will suffer your blood will be spent,
your loud mouthpiece has a busted belief
So drink up your punch and pay up your fees
You're a cog in the wheel for another rapture,
think you can escape to greener pastures?
where we'll never starve, ‘cause the preachers stuff our minds,
You can't choose for yourself so you'd leave this world behind
== the world that didn’t end today!!!

the self-righteous ones spoke with haste,
“I told you so” got turned around and now you must face
that you've lost touch now another day to waste,
because the world didn't end today

Yes the world didn't end today
