The Final Act ft. Ron Majeski & Agnes Beth Lyrics

In nineteen sixty five the mid-east was imploding

Barry McGuire was singing about voting

Now we got deplorables gun and Bible toting

And armchair quarterbacks, podcasts uploading

And bodies in the Jordan river still floating

Shakespeare said all the world's a stage

And here we are at the end of the age

Close your eyes and it's still a fact

The curtain is rising on the final act

You can send an electric car off into space

But down here the props are being put in their place

The players in the wings are showing their face

Russia and Iran and the European race

Old time prophecy proceeding apace

Shakespeare said all the world's a stage

And here we are at the end of the age

Close your eyes and it's still a fact

The curtain is rising on the final act

Wars and wars and rumors of wars

Streets full of addicts, the homeless and whores

Enemies landing unopposed on our shores

Borders being breached while the government snores

I'm sitting here waiting for the Lion to roar

Shakespeare said all the world's a stage

And here we are at the end of the age

Close your eyes and it's still a fact

The curtain is rising on the final act

Now it's twenty twenty times and we're waiting for a nuke

The stage is all set for Matthew, Mark and Luke

Prophecy fulfilled? or is that just a fluke?

Hard to tell a prophet from an ordinary kook

With lukewarm churches making Jesus wanna puke

Shakespeare said all the world's a stage

And here we are at the end of the age

Close your eyes and it's still a fact

The curtain is rising on the final act
