Armageddon

And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What i should do with my life
How i should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Gave the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds
Let's all gather at time square
Let's all say a prayer
For Walter Disney
And Mike Tyson
At Madison Square Garden
And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What i should do with my life
How i should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Gave the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds
And Jesus said, "There's a girl's best friend"
And hell they'll last forever"
And Jesus said, "Now take her hand
And raise this harlot's bastard sun."
And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What i should do with my life
How i should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Gave the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds
And afterwards, we'll all go to hell
When the money's all spent
When the money's all gone
There'll be a place for us in heaven's gate
Waiting for us on lay away
And then the lights came on
In the middle of the night
What i should do with my life
How i should spend my time
I'll be a stock broker and I'll get me a wife
Gave the diamonds cut
And have the diamonds
And oh what a pity the world's not white
Oh what a shame i don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If i made the world it would be all white
And oh what a pity the world's not white
Oh what a shame i don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If i made the world it would be all white
And oh what a pity the world's not white
Oh what a shame i don't have blue eyes
God must have been a color blind
If i made the world it would be
