Post Apocalyptic View Lyrics

These coins you can have them I don't really care

They're no more than atoms that take up the air

And god knows, we're in short supply

The lucky ones died when the bombs hit the ground

I heard screaming and crying and then not a sound

When the sky opened up with fire

The men in suits sounded the alarms

While all the civilians raced for their cars

And bunkers were just a rich man's game

Oh it's for your own good the governments said

While starting the wars that left them all dead

I'd smile but it's just not the same

There's not much left of what was here before

And there's even less to do

It's just me and this post-apocalyptic view

I thought I had truly lost my mind

Patches of dust marked the passing of time

While radiation took the rest of our land

The soil turned to ash and the ash into air

And I still held out hope that someone was there

But being alone doesn't seem that bad

There's not much left of what was here before

And there's even less to do

It's just me and this post-apocalyptic view

I guess I just really don't understand

How such petty fights were the end of man

It's in our nature I suppose

Politics, religion, the American Dream

Well looking back now it just seems so obscene

But hey, that's the way these things go

There's not much left of what was here before

And there's even less to do

It's just me and this post-apocalyptic view

There's not much left of what was here before

And there's even less to do

It's just me and this post-apocalyptic view
