New Disaster - Barenaked Ladies

Hands are shackled

Feet are bound

Sinking in the icy water

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 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

Midnight ticking down

Time to turn the ship around

Everybody feeding ya 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

Here comes a new disaster

Here comes the end of days

Next up the sweet hereafter

We’ll tell you all about 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

Here comes a new disaster
