Lee, Ben - End Of The World Lyrics






On the last day of the world
On the last day of history
I'm gonna live like I always wanted
I'm gonna live like I really was free
And when it finally happens
When they say it on TV
You can bet your life that I'll be the first one
Dancing in the street

You'll have your scientist expert nuclear physicist
Saying that he can't explain
Maybe it's a meteor nuclear bomb missile launch
A final plague acid rain
Then he'll tell you it's the last day of your life
And you must not leave your home
There'll be millions of people all around the world
Praying to the CNN god alone

But I'm gonna dance And I'm gonna sing
When I hear those words said
I'm gonna smash my favorite guitar
Burn every book I've ever read
Then I'm gonna gather all my friends together
We'll get drunk and we'll get high
And then we'll chain smoke cigarettes
It doesn't matter 'cos we're all gonna die

I'm gonna tear down the main city street
In a stolen police car
Record the world's trashiest song
And make myself a star
Then I'm gonna come back home and sit and think
About every word I've said
Take a photo of myself as a souvenir
'Cos by the end of the day I'll be dead

And then I'll come round to your place
With a flower and a song
I'm gonna rest my tired head in your lap
And cry about all the things I've done wrong
Then I'm gonna look at you just one last time
And smile at the life I chose
Then let one final tear past my eye
Before the world explodes

    The world is ending not in any big show down like Hollywood always portrays in their movies end of existence gets great box office but on a personal basis end of days holds true for all of us usually for most of us fading away with very few on a daily basis people in our lives makes me feel for old people pity those who are so busy this is the usual thing for most of their lives they work this hard for others most of the time any way lots of love continual safe perfect successes respectfully yours adonaitsidkenu:):):):):)

    Poor women must have been getting beaten up badly by their husbands or boyfriends which is abhorrent and totally unacceptable respectfully yours adonaitsidkenu

  16. A.... A....

    Ben it's a miracle to hear you talking about love I know exactly what it feels like when women who you have never seen before look into your eyes and the moment they do without hesitation ask when are we going to fuck or when are we going to have sex I never held an opinion of myself that was that I was less than dog muck I never put myself as high as dog excrement but when these woman say things like this I would be stunned and don't know what I have done to make them hate me to the core like that and would do anything to rectify that evil thing whatever it is I did and without breaking one of the three cardinal sins would do whatever I could to change their feelings towards me respectfully yours adonaitsidkenu

    Continuity: Something sad people talk about

  29. J.... K....

    Nice simple, uncluttered music. Lovely vibe but most of his songs are too similar. Not that there's too much wrong with that for "most people", but I like variety in most things & that includes my music or else I get bored ! Nice one Bro !

  30. D.... ....

    Such a huge part of my childhood, I love this song and man.

  41. f.... ....

    Cool song. I love how all these people pick at the smallest little things it makes me laugh. Why? Because 95% of them will achieve nothing at all and be remembered by no one for nothing

  42. W.... T....

    The chorus sounds like Phil Collins at certain points.

  43. K.... K....

    ziimbabwe ~~~~~ foster the people . .

  44. A.... L....

    Ben Lee is your typical gaylord Gen Y who does too much drugs, thinks his farts are magical, and his music is just so meaningful.

    As for th catch my disrease pocumentary who int heir right moind woudl put up such a boring piece fo film about themselves? Whta a narcissistic little c^nt.

    And someone should teach the scruffy little prick how to dress and buy a properly fitted suit, so he doesnt keep on looking like a homeless boy.

    Respect.

  45. C.... ....

    Pop pap...every song sounds the same...

  46. R.... ....

    @coyoteskylarker Wait did they really put this amazing song in a disgrace like Twilight?

  47. D.... R....

    like if you heard of this song from sarah dessen's book "along for the ride"

  48. T.... ....

    This song just makes me feel like I'm a fool!

  49. P.... T....

    OMFG I LOVE YOU BEN LEE <3 <3 This Song IS The Best I Can't Stop SInging It

  50. A.... A....

    @LittleMissLozenge Not "continuity" but "continuity error" actually.

  51. A.... A....

    Contunuity: When the guy throws the water bomb he's throwing an orange one, but when it hits Ben the bomb is blue.

  67. m.... ....

    he does not sound australian :| i love his voice though.

  68. J.... ....

    Water balloons are fun!

  69. E.... ....

    @iammadedeath Just for reference ... "vous" is actually the general you. "Tu" is the specific one. Might help your credibility in any future arguments.

  70. R.... M....

    @iammadedeath Hah. If Ben Lee's music makes you want him to die, and you think that you have a right to tell him how you think he should act or play, then I think you need to get over yourself.

    We'e definitely at an impasse here. You've shown yourself to me to be a violent-minded person and if I come across you again I will make a point not to make myself unhappy by speaking to you. Much as I do love to have the last word, I consider this conversation over from my point of view.

  71. R.... M....

    ...live and let live. Ben Lee isn't doing anything to harm or insult you. It's okay to let other people like what they like, even if you can't comprehend why they do.

    Good music is to the ear of the beholder as beauty is to the eye.

  72. R.... M....

    @iammadedeath Your use of the second pronoun makes me uncomfortable. I feel as if you are telling me how I feel. Don't.

    I don't understand why you seem to think Ben Lee has set out to personally insult you. He's doing something that makes him happy. Whether he's smug about it or not is really his own business.

    I didn't set out to argue with you about whether or not he's a good musician. That's the complete opposite of the point of this conversation. I was offering you some friendly advice...

  73. R.... M....

    It seems illogical and unfair to judge someone by their fans, imho. I believe it's best to judge an artist by their art alone.

    Heh, well, you're free to think that, but I don't think you quite understand my meaning. I love music as an art form because it is a free and beautiful form of expression. I love all kinds of music on the principle that they are music. I don't necessarily like of listen to every kind of song there is.

    However, I do love a wide range different kinds of music.

  74. R.... M....

    @iammadedeath I just don't understand how that's insulting or worthy of your anger. You don't seem like a very happy person overall, which kinda saddens me because it means this conversation will probably going nowhere. I just want to ask, do you really think he is worthy of a deathwish just for playing music you don't like? How exactly can such a thing drive you to want someone to die?

    Gonna reply again 'cause I can't fit everything in one comment.

  75. R.... M....

    @iammadedeath I've seen him perform too, and seen him in interviews, and he always seemed lovely to me.

    I can prove your final statement wrong right now: I love Ben Lee and I love music. All kinds of music.

  76. R.... M....

    @iammadedeath You shouldn't let it bother you that one guy is making lots of people happy with his music, whether it's your thing or not.

  77. I.... ....

    @kaaatederksen couldn't you not be completely rude? FYI that was coherent english tyvm, i happen to know english verry well so if you didnt understand that, im sorry for your inconvenience but thats your problem, not mine. please keep ruse commentarys to yourself.

  78. I.... ....

    dont get me wrong, i love this song..its beautiful...but it doesnt make sence when u listen to lyrics lol.... i meen i get hes usuing metophores and romatisism but couldnt he have worded it didfrent? lol still a great song though :)

  79. O.... ....

    my boyfriend sung me this song....i honestly cried. :D

  80. k.... ....

    ...
    They play him.. on the radio.
    And that's the way he likes it.

  81. J.... D....

    @iammadedeath *cough cough* judging by your name I'm guessing not much goes into your ears that is alike to ben lee but i believe that music that you call "mindless strumming" is what most would call peaceful music again I'm guess someone that calls themself iammadedeath doesn't catch that to often but i have a feeling that you may want to :) just a thought

  82. A.... P....

    Whoa.. I never knew this was by Ben Lee O_o

  83. i.... ....

    found ben lee song in movie dinner for schmucks so posting his tunes on my writers blogs for typing.. the idea girl says word press :)

  84. T.... H....

    Brilliantly crafted guitar pop song. So many bands and artists are busy trying to push back boundries or change people. Not that there's anything wrong with that 'per se', but sometimes they forget that the song is the most important thing! Ben Lee knows the importance of a great tune, and he delivers it well.

  85. T.... C....

    a feel good video. Ben is a great srtist...

  86. K.... ....

    This is such a cool video, looks like so much fun. I love this song

  87. F.... .....

  89. J.... Y....

    I absolutely love this Video. The words the scenes everything AWESOME!

  90. A.... ....

  92. J.... S....

    reminds me of some of james iha's solo stuff

  93. D.... M....

    Thy is a fagg

  94. N.... D....

    Ben Lee seems like a really great person to get to know.

  95. f.... ....
