Lyrics
Hey you there standing on the street below
Think you got yourself a place to go
But you don't.
I got something for you right here
It can be all yours if you bottle up your fear
But you won't.
There's no future anyhow for it
Only thing is here right now for it
All the good that can come out of you
Only drains the fun right out of you
Don't waste my time talking poverty
What the hell's that got to do with me?
Soon we'll all be dead, too, anyway
Time to make a little getaway
(There's no time to change your shoes.
They look just fine on youse.)
People ask for help, instead
You keep your eyes straight ahead
And you walk
"We just can't go on like this"
Cutting through your hard-earned bliss
It's just talk.
Right here, right now, That's the place to be
At the dawning of a brand new century
Will it be better for the people next to you?
Maybe you can talk 'em into having sex with you
And under all the trash and glitter, Something's humming
You hear a sound that you can't escape
Relentlessly it's coming
Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes!
Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes! It's the
(chorus)
Last Gasp of Civilization
Last Gasp of Civilization
Last Gasp of Civilization
Last Gasp of Civilization
Last Gasp of Civilization
First sign of annihilation
Great time to take a vacation
Last Gasp of Civilization
Go!
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh.
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh.
(Is that the best you can do?
And just who the hell are you?
Kick off the kickers, Jackson.
It's time to start relaxin'!)
See the lights and see the show
See where all the people go
Go on in
Music smoke and sweat and noise
See the pretty girls and boys
Where've you been?
Doin' what you can to go away
Let your troubles up and blow away
Honey, here's our bed, let's lie in it
Baby, here's our world, let's die in it
And as the dawn is breaking
As red as bloody tears
Comes that voice again just rolling in
Like waves across the years
Here it comes! (etc.)
(chorus)
