The world is ending! Recorded on cassette!

lyrics

I'd say till the seas fill up to their brim
Or the world burns down--the flame lit from within
That my love for you won't suffer a dent
But the truth is I ain't all that confident
That one or both of those events
Aren't lurking on our horizon
And I don't see the romance in a love whose end
Is as imminent as the warheads and the atomic wind
So I'll lean my vow against
Something with a smaller chance...

I'll love you till there's a living wage
Till the robot heart in Dick Cheney breaks
Till the gun lobby gets its quota met
For murdered grade school children

Till a woman's right isn't under siege
And torpedoing the economy
Gets you more jail time than an ounce of crack
Till the last Humvee is leaving Iraq

What I mean is forever!

I'll love you till race-baiting fails
To get rednecks to vote against themselves
Till love of country goes beyond
Giving tax breaks to the richest ones

What I mean is forever!

Yes I'll love you till healthcare's a right
Till we give up trying to penalize
The impoverished out of poverty
That's as if my solidarity's any better...

What I mean is forever!
