I went out for a walk in the mornin' What did I see A great big hole in the ground where the world used to be And it smelled like it'd been burned And it wasn't gonna turn And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today I went out for a walk in the mornin' To see my friend And discovered that the planet had come to an end And it didn't take too long And I knew that it was wrong
And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today It smelled like it'd been burned And it wasn't gonna turn And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today I went out for a walk in the mornin' To smell the air I breathed it in and there was nothin' there My lungs get full of pain And I'm drinkin' acid rain And I never thought that it would happen on a day like today
