What About The Doom? Lyrics

I lost track of her haunted eyes

As they searched the room for answers I could not provide

She talked about plague and fire

The end of times and how they were impossibly nigh

She was right on, I couldn't argue

She was whip-smart and dressed to destroy

She talked about the void

She talked about how soon it comes

Of her broken heart and the quickly rising tide

And what about the doom ?

what about our failed state?

what about a world in flames ?

what about our impending demise?

What about the doom?

What about the fear

Is it ever gonna let us be

Is it all casual cruelty propelled by impossible need

What about the doom?

For my part I was tripping hard

They sky had unraveled

And I could not contain my delight

Have you heard alex chilton ?

Seems like we might as well laugh at the fact that we're all still alive

So what about the doom?

So. what about the government ?

So what about The horror that hides inside of all of us sometimes?

So what about the doom ?

It's easy for me to say

But none of our privilege

Will chase the long shadows away

So What about the doom ?

So what about the doom?

So what about the doom?

we shouldn't have to say goodbye so many times

we shouldn't have to say goodbye so many times
