Kennedy is dead
I don’t know who killed him
Some say the CIA
Others say the mafia
Malcolm X is gone
John Lennon’s gone
Bob Dylan’s already written all his songs
I got a slight
Pain in my head
Yesterday I spent the night
Lying in your bed
Now the world can end
Now the world can end
I’ve done what I done
I’ve had my fun
Now the world can end
Now the world can end
Now— the world can end

Mozart and me
Are out on CD
Broadcast telephonically
Across the galaxy
Until the end of time
There will always be
Bob Dylan, John Lennon , Mozart and me
My body is spent
My brain is dead
Yesterday I spent the night
Lying in your bed
Now the world can end
Now the world can end
I’ve done what I done
I’ve had my fun
Now the world can end
Now the world can blow
Now— the world can end

Now the world can end
Now the world can flip
Now the world can cash in
All its red and blue chips
Now the world can ride
Staight into the wall
Humpy Dumpty can take his fuckin fall

No one’s out shopping
They boarded up the store
Magic Johnson ain’t playing basketball no more
Everybody’s equal in the eyes of the Lord
Jesus Christ and Hitler both took home their award
Elvis left the building
Babe Ruth’s dead
Yesterday I spent the night
Lying in your bed
Now the world can end
Now the world can end
As far as I’m concerned
I’ve learned what I can learn
Now the world can end
Now the world can end
Now—the world can end
