Barenaked Ladies - New Disaster lyrics

(Oh-oh-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh) Hands are shackled, feet are bound Sinking in the icy waters Seems inevitable our protagonist will drown There's no rescue, no way off this ride If all the world's a stage We're burning down the theater with everyone inside It's in the presentation, it's prestidigitation It's kick the can, sleight of hand Fear and outrage on demand Here comes a new disaster Here comes the end of days Next up the sweet hereafter We'll tell you all about it after this commercial break Stay tuned for scary monsters Watch out for rising tides But first a word from sponsors Might be a mess but it's a hell of a good time The river's dried up, the banks are broke Our leaders lied to us But if we pay attention we can get in on the joke 'Cause there's still laughter, there's still hope We gotta pay the hangman But that don't mean we gotta give him all this rope The devil's in the details They're killing it at retail So cross-promote, now cast your vote There's plenty of room on the lifeboat Here comes a new disaster Here comes the end of days Next up the sweet hereafter We'll tell you all about it after this commercial break Stay tuned for scary monsters Watch out for rising tides But first a word from sponsors Might be a mess but it's a hell of a good time (Oh-oh-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh) Midnight ticking down Time to turn the ship around Everybody feeding your anti-social media Fear fear, disappear We don't need you back in here Save the forest, save the whales Throw the CEO in jail Come together, come what may Live to fight another day Don't, don't, don't believe the hype This is no way to live your life (Oh-oh-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh) Here comes a new disaster Here comes the end of days Next up the sweet hereafter We'll tell you all about it after this commercial break Stay tuned for scary monsters Watch out for rising tides But first a word from sponsors Might be a mess, might be a mess Might be a mess but it's a hell of a good time (Oh-oh-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh) Here comes a new disaster (Oh-oh-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh)
