G5 
Anyone caught speaking Esperanto 
                              D5 
Is thought crazy or headed for jail 
 
There's peace in the wilds of West Texas 
                     C5       G5 
Where the sun and the sky prevail 
 
Don't take notice of the rising waters 

Don't take notice where rivers run dry 

They'll be digging through the landfills 

To find evidence of our great demise 
 

          C5 
There's a changing pattern before us 
                                  G5 
And the past tells the story quite well 
       D5 
By the time we make it to Barstow 
                   C5          G5 
We'll be more than halfway to hell  
 
Waves of adverts that promise revival 
Trinketware that batters the brain 
The Devil bought the key to Branson 
Drives a backhoe and wears a gold chain 
 
Now we're living in the ending time frame 
Bets in Reno are all the human race 
Woke up in another test market 
With a new headache filter in place 
 
Chorus:
