Apocalypse Now (the Non-Hollywood version)

Apocalypse Now (the Non-Hollywood version)
I saw a movie on TV late last night
New York City was taken by a plague
And the medical authorities arrested it early
How they did it was a little bit vague though

But my mind started turning and my hands began to sweat
Because I thought of how it would have come out
These people would have been dead like a bullet to the head
And the plague would consume us no doubt
Without a doubt
Then I got to thinking gravely of the things I've noticed lately
How it all looks like it's coming to an end
And though this plague was on the screen
There's real things that we have seen
Looks like a slow trains coming' 'round the bend
Like a slow train coming' 'round the bend
CHORUS
But You said
We'd hear of wars and rumors of war
But we shouldn't be afraid
"Earthquake and famine, but don't cry my friend
Although the axe at the root of the tree has been laid
For the one who endures to the end shall be saved"

You know I almost wanna cry when I think about the lie
That we're doomed and there's no way out
That the dice are cast before you step out of the womb
And that's just something you can do nothing about
That it all doesn't matter anyway
We think it's already decided, that fate's to be abide
And death is in the cards for us all
It doesn't matter how you act, no one's immune to heart attack
And something some where's gonna make you fall
No matter who you are
BRIDGE
O death- where's it's sting
Some of us, You said, would never taste this thing
