I'll Be Dead Before It Happens

They tell me that the seas will rise
Maybe they are right
And maybe not, I don't really care
Nothing's going to happen over night
And by the time it does
I'll have moved into sweet repose
And someone else will have to clean up the mess
That's just the way it goes

I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time

If the whole wide world
Becomes an ugly place to be
Someone will have to be living there
But that someone won't be me
So while I'm still alive
I proudly do not care
I'm not particularly interested
Because I won't be there

I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time

There are strange men on the TV
They claim that it's all a hoax
They might not be making perfect sense
But they seem to be clever folk
It suits me to believe
That they just might be right
But let me tell you that none of it
Is keeping me up at night

I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time

I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time

One day in the Future
My grandkids will be grown
Maybe they'll judge me harshly
But I'll be dead so I wont know
I guess I've dodged a bullet
It's pretty great to be me
Because I finally found a benefit
Of being over 70

I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time

I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time
