Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Another day in outer space, do you feel out of place?

Well, that's good, yeah, you should

But anyway, things have changed

And it's clear to see you're up to no good

But honestly, the gravity is killing me

And integrity is being overlooked

I'm in a bind, can we rewind?

Reality's unraveling and yes, this is happening

[PreChorus]

So wait one minute, can't say I didn't try

Been knock, knock, knocking on the door outside

Tell me what I gotta do

[Chorus]

We've had enough of all these pointless points of view

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just cash the checks, you'll never have to tell the truth

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just keep bang, bang, banging on the big bass drum

While the aliens are coming and we're staring at the sun

And the band plays on where the wild things run

It's the end of the world, but it sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]

Take it down a notch, 'cause it's a lot

It's obvious that we don't make the rules

But check it out, the word of mouth

Is "The joke's on you"

[PreChorus]

So wait one minute, can't say I didn't try

Been knock, knock, knocking on the door outside

Tell me what you've got to lose

[Chorus]

We've had enough of all these pointless points of view

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just cash the checks, you'll never have to tell the truth

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just keep bang, bang, banging on the big bass drum

While the aliens are coming and we're staring at the sun

And the band plays on where the wild things run

It's the end of the world, but it sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

If you're not here to win, then why'd you play the game?

You just bitch and moan and constantly complain

[Chorus]

We've had enough of all these pointless points of view

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just cash the checks, you'll never have to tell the truth

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Just keep bang, bang, banging on the big bass drum

While the aliens are coming and we're staring at the sun

And the band plays on where the wild things run

It's the end of the world, but it sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It sure is fun

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's the end of the world, but it sure is—
