You can kick like a mule, act like a fool
Throw your arms up in the air
Stay home and cry while you wither inside
Ain't nobody going to care
Nobody's building arks any more
The ships have all sailed away
'Cause the end of the world came today
The end of the world came today
You can act like a clown, burn your house down
Bury your head in the sand
Get down on you knees, learn to speak Japanese
But no one's going to understand
You can spend your time reading Norman Mailer
Or Ernest Hemmingway
But the end of the world came today
The end of the world came today
You can worship the Pope or abandon all hope
You could even be the head of the Klan
You could be a Sunday school teacher or a big TV preacher
Or even just a confidence man
You can preach your sermons like it was on the mount
Nobody's listening anyway
'Cause the end of the world came today
The end of the world came today
