The Good News Lyrics by Something and the Whatevers

Epic Fail

2018

You’re gonna die alone
You’re gonna die in vain
You’re gonna die defeated, broken, sputtering and insane
Unable to communicate your confusion or your pain
Or the sensation of the sudden dissipation of your brain
And there will be no grand transition
To some mystical dimension
No consciousness at all to contemplate your situation
Yeah you’re future’s pretty grim, my friend
In the future you’ll be screwed
But you’re here right now and the present’s up to you
So go ahead and build your empire
Go ahead and make your fortune
Go ahead and follow all your dreams you think are so important
Pour your soul into a memoir every day ’til nothing’s left
It’s only gonna last for several billion years or so at best
‘Cause even if you find a way
To immortalize your consciousness
The sun’s still gonna die one day, rendering it meaningless
And assuming our society moves to a neighboring galaxy
The heat death of the universe will negate it all eventually
And even if you climb to heaven, plead your case to god
Certain judges can’t be reasoned with, it’s a puzzle you can’t solve
Yeah everything is temporary
Everything is doomed
But you’re alive right now and the rest is up to you
Well, it’s hard not to get discouraged
When you zoom the lens out far enough
But it’s a question of perspective
When addressing what we’re made of
‘cause it’s true we’re pretty small, but we’re also pretty huge
And when you understand this, suddenly
The universe looks pretty cool
‘cause there are galaxies inside your eyes
You’ll see them when you find
The eternity inside each second you waste terrified of your demise
Maybe we’re more substantial than we know, but then again
Maybe I’m only saying this to ease the pain of trying to comprehend
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
You’re gonna die alone! die alone! die alone! die alone!
But for now at least there’s rock and roll!
