Did all those dinosaurs look up and think 'what's that? could it be a meteor about to make a splash' Did Adam say to Eve 'Perhaps we were naive' And did Christ think 'crap How ironically apt' It's not that bad It's much, much worse Say it's all good But god it hurts It's not goodbye It's just farewell Say it's all good But god it's hell And there was Eva Beneath the streets of Berlin Did she think maybe That the wolf could still win Did the Hitler Youth Begin to learn the truth And did Napoleon's ghost Warn they were French Toast It's not that bad It's much, much worse Say it's all good But god it hurts It's not goodbye It's just farewell Say it's all good But god it's hell On a lighter note There is no more hope So why should we try To eat our daily bread With heavy heart and head So hush now don't cry Did JFK's first lady Know where he snoozed Was he with that Marilyn Or was she with Blue Suede Shoes Did John Lennon joke 'The queen needs a smoke' And did Kurt Cobain Think as he took aim It's not that bad It's much, much worse Say it's all good But god it hurts It's not goodbye It's just farewell Say it's all good But god it's hell And does the devil pray Hell is heaven one day |
