The Fleas

(album: Buddies II: Still Buddies - 2020)

I never thought the apocalypse would be boring
I was expecting more of a bang, less of a sigh
The TV shows implied it would be exciting
But I still don't know anyone who's died

Here we are, finally on our knees
Waiting for the world to shake us off
Like a bad case of the fleas

I thought that I would miss other people
Other places, other things, more than I do
Things can be replaced, and places can be rearranged
And the only one who'll notice it is you

Here we are, finally on our knees
Waiting for the world to shake us off
Like a bad case of the fleas

Do you remember what it was like before you were born?
It won't be long before you're back there once again
To tell the truth, I can't remember much of anything these days
It's like they say, in our beginning is our end

So here we are, finally on our knees
Shaking with each curse and every cough
Here we are, finally on our knees
Waiting for the world to shake us off
Like a bad case of the fleas
