"All the Animals I Drew as a Kid" lyrics

Well, a bomb went off in Mexico today
And a priest in San Diego lost his faith
And they're searching for some real estate in space
Oh, dying alone is such a fucking waste
All the animals that I drew as a kid
Live in articles on how they wound up dead
There's still so many places I've not been
But I'm sure they can't be much better than this

'Cause when it's all going to shit
And these days, it usually is

Oh, no, it's a consequential world we live in
Oh, no, we're just lost and lonely experts
But for you and I, and our peace of mind (Ah)
In the case of a tragedy, I still wouldn't press rewind

Making fun of all our married friends
While you moved out of your condo
'Cause you can't afford the rent
If our life is slow to start
Like your father's '80s Benz
Then I guess it doesn't matter how it ends

'Cause when it's all going to shit
And these days, it usually is

Oh, no, it's a consequential world we live in
Oh, no, we're just lost and lonely experts
But for you and I, and our peace of mind (Ah)
In the case of a tragedy, I still wouldn't press rewind

What if we starve and the power goes down?
Running out of things we could talk about
What do we do then? What do we do now?
What do we do then? What do we do now?
So many birthdays in a Japanese house
Wouldn't it be a shame if your parents moved out?
What do we do then? What do we do now?
What do we do then? What do we do now?

Lately, old age seems around the bend
When Mom is on depressants and now Dad can't feel his hands
And I'm waking up to nightmares where I'm losing all my friends
(But in the case of a tragedy, I still wouldn't press rewind)
