lyrics

The end of the world is on the table
& has been for a while, so i'm told.
We have just been grazing in the fields,
oblivious and slowly growing old.

& there's nothing we can do tonight,
but sing the decimation blues.

We are the great unwashed, and we're alarmed.
We are the great unwashed, and we're alarmed, yes we are.

The end of the world is on the table
& has been for a while so i'm told.
We were born in a nuclear winter.
The seasons changed, the air was just as cold.

& there's nothing we can do tonight,
but sing the decimation blues.

We are the great unwashed, and we're alarmed.
We are the great unwashed, and we're alarmed, yes we are.
