We got pestilence and famine,
We got violence and crime,
Seems like we got earthquakes happening all the time,
We got trouble over yonder, trouble over here,
We got trouble far away from us, trouble getting near.
At least it’s not the end of the world,
At least it’s not the end of the world,
We see these things around us and our heads are in a whirl,
At least it’s not the end of the world.
We got hunger and her mother, and she’s killing little kids,
We got STDs and viruses like we never did,
We got women scared to walk the street,
We got men scared even more,
We got people in high places rotten to the core.
At least it’s not the end of the world,
At least it’s not the end of the world,
We see these things around us and our heads are in a whirl,
At least it’s not the end of the world.
We got atom bombs and petrol bombs, and missiles by the score,
One guy scraps a dozen, another builds some more,
The ozone’s almost no zone, and the ocean’s black at best,
If nature’s got a heart at all, it’s a cardiac arrest.
At least it’s not the end of the world,
At least it’s not the end of the world,
We see these things around us and our heads are in a whirl,
At least it’s not the end of the world.
At least it’s not the end of the world,
At least it’s not the end of the world,
We see these things around us and our heads are in a whirl,
At least it’s not the end of the world.
