Share the End

Share the End - Carly Simon

Here come the priests each one wailing and bemoaning

Lordy they got their heads bowed down

Here come the madmen they're too excited for atoning

Burn the mosque they're shouting burn it down

Save me a place surround me with friendly faces

All of us have gathered here to share the end

To watch the world go up in flames

Please lord were not ready

Give us a day

Give us an hour

Here come the kings let's dispense with their apologizing

Just bring on the acrobats and clowns

Here comes the rumble hang on for universal dying

Please ignore the baying of the hounds

Save me a place surround me with deadly faces

All of us have gathered here to share the end

To watch the world go up in flames

Please lord were not ready

Give us some time to work things out

Please lord were not ready

Give us a day

Give us an hour

Please lord were not ready

Give us some time to work things out

Please lord were not ready

Give us a day

Give us an hour
