[Verse 1]

So here we are again to experience the bitter, scalding end

And we're the only ones who can perceive it

But others sing of beauty and the story that's unfolded

As one that deserves praise and ritual

[Chorus]

My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives

And the modern age's lies won't absolve you

And the professorial truth and the dear clairvoyant youth

And of course the nightly news will deceive you

(Watch out!)

[Chorus]

My pessimistic lines, your superstitious lives

And the modern age's lies won't absolve you

And the professorial truth and the dear clairvoyant youth

And of course the nightly news will deceive you

(Let's go!)
