When the World Falls Down
K. ObermeyerWhen the world falls down
Where you gonna run?
With your arms wide open
Your hands on the gun
Desperate times
And lunatic’s dreams
Tear the optimist
Apart at the seams
On a leave of absence
God had to run
All he could say was
“Look what you fools have done!”
Every decision
Was yours to make
Only an idiot
Would believe in fate
Yeah, we’re running
But we’ve got nowhere to go
We spent all our money
And we’ve cashed all the checks we wrote
When the world falls down
Who you gonna save?
Will you stand up for innocence or
Dig a shallow grave?
We can’t pretend to know
What lies ahead
But odds are a funny thing and we’re
Losing the bet
Yeah, we’re running
But we’ve got nowhere to go
We spent all our money
And we’ve cashed all the checks we wrote
