Something’s On Its Way

All the A-listers

All the poets, all the popes

All the ice cream scoopers

Every genius, every dope

All the rockers

All the rising stars

All the kneelers in the pews

All the drinkers in the bars

Something’s on its way

To turn off all the lights

Missiles or an earthquake

Could end it all tonight

Something’s on its way

It will come for you and me

A fire or a flood

Or Bobby Kennedy

Everyone will split

Everyone will go bye-bye

Why can’t we see anyone

Smiling in the sky?

Why can’t we see anyone

Smiling in the sky?

All the crazed evangelists

(All the Hall of Famers)

All the lying psychics

(All the body-shamers)

All the arrogant baristas

(All the lion tamers)

All the new subscribers

(All the online gamers)

Something’s gonna get us

What’s it gonna be?

A virus, a volcano

An angry enemy?

Something’s on its way

We won’t have to worry anymore

Will it be a flood, a famine

Or a stranger at the door?

All the rockers

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

All the jocks

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

All the former presidents

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

All our fellow residents

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

Something’s on its way

To make it all go dark

A stray bullet, a drunk driver

A mugger in the park

Something’s on its way

It will all come to a stop

A bad clam, a huge asteroid

A trigger-happy cop

All the politicians

Everyone with clout

All those new podcasters

Will soon be finding out

All the greasers

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

All the fleecers

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

All the heroes

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

All the zeroes

(Bye bye bye bye bye)

Everyone will split

Everyone will go bye-bye

Why can’t we see anyone

Smiling in the sky?

Why can’t we see anyone

Smiling in the sky?
