[Verse 1]
Naturally the dying man wonders to himself:
Has commentary been more lucid than anybody else?
And had he successfully beaten back the rising tide
Of idiots, dilettantes, and fools
On his watch while he was alive
Lord, just a little more time
[Refrain]
Oh, in no time at all
This'll be the distant past, ooh
[Verse 2]
So says the dying man once I'm in the box
Just think of all the overrated hacks running amok
And all of the pretentious, ignorant voices that will go unchecked
The homophobes, hipsters, and one percent
The false feminists he'd managed to detect
Oh, who will critique them once he's left?
[Refrain]
Oh, in no time at all
This'll be the distant past
[Bridge]
What he'd give for one more day to rate and analyze
The world made in his image as of yet to realize
What a mess to leave behind
