Waiting for the World to Fall

Everywhere I'm turning there's another massacre and
I don't think that I can face it alone
Pray to God He'll make it stop, thoughts and prayers are not enough
You gotta teach your children at home
And I don't wanna tell you how to do it but I feel like you don't
Do very well on your own
The so-called men in Washington have fallen prey to lobbying
They don't remember right from wrong

I'm waiting
For the world to fall

Don't say I didn't warn you when you wake up in the morning
And you can't remember where you belong
It used to be a pleasure but now all the pain is measured
By the shit you take to help you along
And everything's a blur when you've forgotten who you were
And so you take another hit of the bong
And when the smoke has cleared and being alone is what you feared
And then you see that all the people are gone

I'm waiting
For the world to fall
Said I'm waiting
For the world to fall

Mars is cold, Venus is fried
And we can't travel at the speed of light
This is home, at least for tonight
And I won't let it go without a fight

Aliens are coming if they aren't here already
And I'm sure they won't be offering peace
This place was pretty special
But we sold it to the devil for our temporary comfort and greed
Now the seas are rising and the land is minimizing
And we're poisoning the air that we breathe
Pray to God he'll make it stop
Thoughts and prayers are not enough we fucked it up now we gotta leave

I'm waiting
For the world to fall
Said I'm waiting
For the world to fall
Yeah I'm waiting
For the world to fall
