Now now I want to see All the skyscrapers and the factories Crumble down to the ground And we'll go walk around and pick Through the wreckage scattered In the streets.
Now now I want to see Malls with paint peeling off of cracked walls, All the plants overgrowing and the fountains Overflowing and we can rumble Through the stubble and play Hide and go seek.
Well once I saw an old guy digging through the trash, then I Watched him walk down the street. He'd gathered cups, got water, and was watering all the plants Growing through the cracks in the concrete. (True story.)
Now now I want to be At the edge of the land clawing out at the sea And we can get acoustic guitars And play in the ruins of the world today.
Yes, it's my armagedon scheme. It's my twisted future dream. It's right around the corner, Wait and see.
