Last Man On Earth |
| In the year 2000 my age was 53 |
| Born in the first half of the last century |
| I always was post-modern but that’s ancient history |
| Now I’m the last man on Earth |
| That’s what the matter is with me |
| I guess I’m old fashioned, retro to a degree |
| You could say I’m a throw-back, anachronistically |
| Air conditioning is here to stay |
| And that makes me unhappy |
| 'Cause I’m the last man on Earth |
| That’s what the matter is with me |
| I don’t have a portfolio, I gotta plead guilty |
| The best things are the worthless now |
| That’s just because they’re free |
| And if your not a millionaire yet |
| Boy, you better be |
| Now, I’m the last man on Earth |
| That’s what the matter is with me |
| I should be optimistic |
| And go buy some bonds and stocks |
| They’ll find a cure for cancer soon |
| We may get trigger-locks |
| Existence is no picnic as statistics all have shown |
| We learn to live together and then we die alone |
| Everybody’s got a website but that’s all Greek to me |
| I don’t own a computer, I hate that letter «E» |
| I don’t pack a cell phone or drive an SUV |
| Yes, I’m the last man on Earth |
| That’s what the matter is with me |
| I’m the last man standing |
| Save the last dance for me |
| I’ve taken the last train to Clarksville |
| I’m the fifth monkey |
| Nice guys always finish last |
| No one’s nicer than me |
| Yeah, I’m the last man on Earth |
| That’s what the matter is with me |
| Kid’s used to say their prayers at night |
| Before they went to bed |
| St. John told us that God is love |
| Nietzsche said he was dead |
| This thing we call existence |
| Who knows what it all means? |
| Time and Life and People |
| Are just glossy magazines |
| I sat and watched those guys |
| Debate each other on TV |
| Politicians, wrestlers |
| They’re all the same to me |
| Hey, I don’t give a damn |
| Which idiot runs this country |
| Since I’m the last man on Earth |
| It don’t matter to me |
| In the year 2000, my age was 53 |
| I know that I’m grumpy, middle-aged crazy |
| But if you are a woman |
| You might have to sleep with me |
| Since I’m the last man on Earth |
| And I can guarantee |
| I’m the last man on Earth |
| And there ain’t nothing wrong with me |
