Taking the Dmview soon I know it's all gonna fly right by

Tuning: Standard

[Verse 1]

Ice Age or a heat wave

Earthquake or a plague

Terrorism or class warfare

Or the end of days

I asked mamma, but she didn't know

Dad just shook his head

Put a couple ice cubes in his Whiskey,

sipped it and went to bed

Am C

Can I just pray to God to give me those Vegas odds

Dm F

I ask on behalf of a friend

Am C

Should I buy my folks a round or dig my cash in the ground

Dm F

I'm starting to think it's the end

[Chorus]

Am C

I know, I know we'll live for a thousand years

Dm F

What's in your crystal ball

Am C

Tell me, tell me oh where do we go from here

Dm F

Rome is too big to fall

[Verse 2]

Other night I was riding on a C train

Packed car, bad mood

When his peabrain drunk-ass slicked back hair, having,

leather-jacket wearing ass Roger Klotz grease stain

dude stumbles through the train mad rude

shoving a finger in our grills with this attitude

Yelling fuck you, fuck you, fuck every one of you

Yeah, yeah, that means fuck you too

So when the train pulls in the next station

This one big ass hardcore

bouncer kinda Teamster kinda Paul Bunyon

kinda motherfucker shoves a fool out the car door

Throws a haymaker, hits him in the chin

The whole train cheers the win

We're all high-fiving, feeling excellent

Having extra fun like we're next of kin

Save all your Kumbayas

Don't take this shit too far

Dm F

You don't make no friends on no New York subway car

How come when we gotta come together

We wait until we got someone that we can all come together to hate

And then for the hottest minute we set our shit aside and relate?

then forget again

[Chorus]

Am C

I know, I know we'll live for a thousand years

Dm F

What's in your crystal ball

Am C

Tell me, tell me oh where do we go from here

Dm F

Rome is too big to fall

[Verse 3]

Nobody wants to die so nobody thinks of it

What if at the blink of an eye we be at the brink of it

We tend to blind when we're right up in the thick of it

We got this life to live and it's at our fingertips

I'm taking my time and trying to me making the most of it

Let's open a wine bottle and can all toast a bit

And I never get light when I'm drunk so fuck all the poser shit

I'm tapping a vein, craving the truth, give me another dose of it

Am C

I'm not digging for danger but I decided that I won't be taking time for

my day for denying how I was made or fighting my human nature

I'm only looking to savor the ride

I've paid for my pride back when I would cry, cry, cry

Spending my life wondering why, why, why

Taking the view soon I know it's all gonna fly right by

I will not go out like that!

[Outro]

Am C Dm

We won't go out like that

F Am

We won't go out like that

We won't go out like (We won't go out like)
