• Swine flu,
    an earthquake or two
    the dove of peace just doesn't coo.
    the nuke numbers are off the charts
    hobos stealing shopping carts
    bullets tear through human hearts

    It would seem that the world is ending
    oh yes it's true,
    It would seem that the world was ending,
    If I wasn't with you.

    Suicide,
    formaldehyde,
    Coral reefs and a red tide.
    industrial pollution,
    case of racial exclusion,
    and, hey, since we're on a roll
    let's bend the constitution.

    Cigarettes
    trawler nets
    shootings, bombings, and new threats.
    global warming
    harder storming
    new religious wars 'been forming.

    It would seem that the world is ending
    oh yes it's true,
    It would seem that the world was ending,
    If I wasn't with you.

    Reputation sadly forlorn
    love is fading, marriages torn
    the contemplating gardener pricked by a foreign thorn
    Yeah, we the people made the call,
    we may have brought the country's fall
    with TV, AC, Alcohol.

    It would seem that the world is ending
    oh yes it's true,
    It would seem that the world was ending,
    If I wasn't with you.
    If I wasn't with you.

    IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU!
