THE MAVERICKS
"(Waiting For) The World To End"
(Raul Malo / Alan Miller)

You're overstating, pontificating
The meaning of your life, my friend
I tell you one thing, but not for nothing
We're all waiting for the world to end

And you may enter the gates of heaven
While some are dying to be born again
It's intuition, not superstition
We're all waiting for the world to end

Do you believe in things unseen
Or are you one of those that just pretends
Are you aware, let me be clear
We're all waiting for the world to end

So if you must hang on to love
It's only disbelief you must suspend
Oh, by the way, it's way too late
We're all waiting for the world to end

And blind ambition, like double vision
Will never show you what's around the bend
I'm double-guessing why you're obsessing
When we're all waiting for the world to end

So in conclusion here's the solution
Just live your life until you die, my friend
Have no regrets and don't forget
We're all waiting for the world to end
