APOCALYPTIC LOVE SONG

[Intro – Narrator]
It’s the year 2035 and this is humanity’s last stand.
After the centuries of war and the desecration of nature that came to be known as the second dark age – the planet finally took its violent revenge.
No longer would the power lie in the hands of a few aging white men, the brutal capitalist system would be no more.
Hidden amongst the chaos and wreckage there are moments of beauty. We join the story as two star-crossed lovers stand upon a hill, overlooking what used to be known as London…
____________________
We’ll stand around the campfire singing dystopic songs
And someone will interrupt us and tell us that we’re doing it wrong.
They’ll ask “What’s the point of love, if the world is gunna end?”
and I’ll say “They make me feel safe, and they are my best friend”
And we’ll kiss in the ashes of this burning city
We haven’t washed for weeks but boy you look so pretty
We’ll dance on the rubble of the collapsed high-rises
At least we no longer have to worry about the rising prices.

CHORUS:
I got a feeling this one is for me and you (x3)
I got a feeling this apocalypse is just for us.

What are the chances that I would be alive
At the exact same time as the end of humanity
They say there’s more people alive now than ever in history
So I guess that’s actually quite a high probability
We watched the world burning through our phone screens
Saw people suffering and dying on a live stream
to our comfy homes, until it caught up with us
but we were too distracted to disobey or make a fuss.

CHORUS

I guess it makes it easier to die if you can laugh about it
And you always make me laugh so I guess we should stick together
plus your quite resourceful from all those years of squatting
They thought we were wasting out lives, but hey! Look at us now!
We know how to grow food and we know how to brew beer
The world is finally ending and we don’t have to pay for anything
and we can repurpose almost any piece of wood
some would call this suffering, I’d say we’ve never had it so good.

CHORUS
