In the year 2000
|
my age was 53
|
born in the first half
|
of the last century
|
I always was post-modern
|
but that's ancient history
|
|
Now I'm the last man on Earth
|
that's what the matter is with me
|
|
I guess I'm old fashioned
|
Retro to a degree
|
you could say I'm a throw-back
|
anachronistically
|
air conditioning is here to stay
|
and that makes me unhappy
|
|
cause I'm the last man on Earth
|
that's what the matter is with me
|
|
I don't have a portfolio
|
I gotta pleed guilty
|
the best things are the worthless now
|
that's just because they're free
|
and if your not a millionaire yet
|
boy, you better be
|
|
Now, I'm the last man on Earth
|
that's what the matter is with me
|
|
I should be optimistic
|
and go buy some bonds and stocks
|
They'll find a cure for Cancer soon
|
we may get trigger-locks
|
existence is no picnic
|
as statistics all have shown
|
we learn to live together
|
and then we die alone
|
|
everybody's got a website
|
but that's all Greek to me
|
I don't own a computer
|
I hate that letter "e"
|
I don't pack a cell phone
|
or drive an SUV
|
|
Yes, I'm the last man on Earth
|
that's what the matter is with me
|
|
I'm the last man standing
|
save the last dance for me
|
I've taken the last train to Clarksville
|
I'm the fifth monkey
|
nice guys always finish last
|
no one's nicer than me
|
|
Yeah, I'm the last man on Earth
|
That's what the matter is with me
|
|
Kid's used to say their prayers at night
|
before they went to bed
|
St. John told us that God is love
|
Nichiei said he was dead
|
this thing we call existence
|
who knows what it all means?
|
Time and Life and People
|
are just glossy magazines
|
|
I sat and watched those guys
|
debate each other on TV
|
politicians, wrestlers
|
they're all the same to me
|
hey, I don't give a damn
|
which idiot runs this country
|
|
Since I'm the last man on Earth
|
It don't matter to me
|
|
In the year 2000
|
my age was 53
|
I know that I'm grumpy
|
middle-aged crazy
|
but if you are a woman
|
you might have to sleep with me
|
|
Since I'm the last man on Earth
|
and I can guarantee
|
I'm the last man on Earth
|
and there ain't nothing wrong with me
|
