New Disaster Barenaked Ladies

(Oh-oh-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh, wah-oh-oh)

Hands are shackled, feet are bound
Sinking in the icy waters
Seems inevitable our protagonist will drown
There's no rescue, no way off this ride
If all the world's a stage
We're burning down the theater with everyone inside

It's in the presentation, it's prestidigitation
It's kick the can, sleight of hand
Fear and outrage on demand

Here comes a new disaster
Here comes the end of days
Next up the sweet hereafter
We'll tell you all about it after this commercial break
Stay tuned for scary monsters
Watch out for rising tides
But first a word from sponsors
Might be a mess but it's a hell of a good time

The river's dried up, the banks are broke
Our leaders lied to us
But if we pay attention we can get in on the joke
'Cause there's still laughter, there's still hope
We gotta pay the hangman
But that don't mean we gotta give him all this rope
