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 |
