lyrics

2012

this was about the mysterious relationship between hurricane sandy and the [then-upcoming] apocalypse
_______________________________

once upon a time
some mayan guy said "hey in y2kXII
all of mankind is gonna die"

we took it lightly til that day
when everything just went astray
oh my god we figured we knew why

the passengers inside a plane
they nearly went insane when they felt shaking
right underneath their feet
a tone that sounded really calm
explained it on the intercom
and told them to remain
buckled in their seats

"we're gonna have some turbulence"
well this is one of many hints
that signals our impending doom

go grab a gun
save everything in sight
dust off the bomb shelter
we're going down tonight

a giant mass of wind and rain
aka a hurricane
was tumbling across the whole east coast

we surely had a lot to lose
because we heard upsetting news
the nation's biggest city would be damaged the most

the people wondered nervously
if fate had done this purposely
as evil looking clouds gathered right above their heads

trees fell down and houses shook
category 1 was all it took
to leave all the local boardwalks in shreds

we bid farewell to power lines
well this is one of many signs
that signals our impending doom

go grab a gun
save everything in sight
dust off the bomb shelter
we're going down tonight

but the mayans' date was just a date
why must we assume the worst
after all a calendar starts over
what if their 2012 was our december 31

put back the gun
we've won the nonexistent fight
get out of that bomb shelter
we're partying tonight
we're partying tonight
