lyrics

ONCE AGAIN

Swim in any ocean and you will know it
the fish ain’t what they used to be
The waves didn’t care if it took a million years just to grow it
the only thing left is a satellite for TV
Then the comets spun the twisters and they kept on screwin
Stuff was falling from the sky for days
Looks like a new generation for the world is stewin’
just like when we came and the dinos went away

It’s all too scary so I hear you say
No truer words have ever been spoke
Can’t pack your bags and run to catch a train
it’s not a pretty picture

I’m afraid it’s the end
so goodbye my dear friends
I’m afraid it’s the end of life as we know it here on earth...
Once again.....................................


The clouds went black all around and the sun to took a powder
as lightening ripped across the looming sky
Then the mother-ships landed and the humming got louder
And all that I could say was “my oh my!”
I doubt that they came for a coke and an order of fries

Those prophets saw it comin’ years ago
Folks thought that they were all insane
How they lived their lives I just don’t know
It was not a pretty picture

I’m afraid it’s the end
So goodbye my dear friends
I’m afraid it’s the end and you know it my friends
I’m afraid it’s the end of life as we know it - here on earth...
Once again

Brooks: Ok, so - now he's on this planet with tornadoes and it's very dry.

Boss: Yeah, drier than you'll ever be.

Johnson: Asteroids are really big now a these days sir.

Brooks: Huge!

Boss: The only thing that's huge is my hemorrhoids!
Say, whatever happened to the story about the nice couple with the lottery and the aliens?

Johnson: Yesterday's papers, Sir.

Brooks: I'm telling ya it's all rocks these days...

Boss:Yes, well your job's on the rocks if you don't get crackin'. Now throw me the toilet paper.

Those prophets saw it comin’ years ago
Folks thought that they were all insane
How they lived their lives I just don’t know
It was not a pretty picture

I’m afraid it’s the end
So goodbye my dear friends
I’m afraid it’s the end and you know it my friends
I’m afraid it’s the end of life as we know it here on earth...

Once again.....................................
