"The Last Ones" Lyrics

[In accordance with our instructions, we continued toward the planet,
which its inhabitants called the "Earth", in order to study their mode
of life.
The intelligent creatures on this planet call themselves "human
beings", and they exist in an amazing variety of conditions.]

We've studied hard and taken everything apart
While the weather down here gets so friggin' hot
Married in a burning church while the bombs above us burst
The last ones here on Earth

Our friends follow the road and leave us all alone
Will they make us go?
They'll have to take us both

Suppose I'm scared of solar flares
Holes in ozone layers
And the dying polar bears

I'm afraid of tidal waves
And radiation from the microwaves
I don't want us just to fight all day

Bodies raining down around us
Counting down the hours
A blur of hurricanes birthing flames and polyurethane
The bridges all were burned
The lights and phones don't work
The last ones here on Earth

Nothing goes before its turn
Watching all before us burn
'Til it's specks of dust just like the rest of us

Suppose I'm scared of solar flares
Of holes in ozone layers
Of and the dying polar bears

And I'm afraid of tidal waves
Of radiation from the microwaves
And I don't want us just to fight all day

Flying planes fall from the sky in flames
The oceans flood and the ground below us opens up
Our vows are all rehearsed
As we march into the dirt
The last ones here on Earth
