We're absolutely doomed we're sunk we're finished done kaput
There's no more hope for all of us in sight
So raise a drink for calamity let's all bathe in depravity
We shall indulge ourselves as this ship goes down
Let's party like its 1929
Dance among the flames one last time
With inbound devastation disease death desiccation
We're going up in flames to this tune

Nothing really works out in the end
Never panning out as you intend
The only thing for certain as they drop that final curtain
Is that nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
To aide that final misery a last insult to injury
Is that nothing really works out in the end

Cities burn and fall into the embers
The hopes and dreams you held lay there dismembered
Bless the poison of this splendour and in their arms so tender
In fever and ashes and bone

Nothing really works out in the end
Never panning out as you intend
The only thing for certain as they drop that final curtain
Is that nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
To aide that final misery a last insult to injury
Is that nothing really works out in the end

So raise a glass as we all stand here burning
Our fates are sadly not at all for turning
As we fall into the schism please tell my cats I miss 'em
Our bodies crumple as we sing this tune

Nothing really works out in the end
Never panning out as you intend
The only thing for certain as they drop that final curtain
Is that nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
To aide that final misery a last insult to injury
Is that nothing really works out in the end

As we sit on the precipice solemnly watching the collapse of all we've come to know
We ask ourselves did any of it truly matter?
And as we shed our final tears my parting advice to you all
As we sink beneath the tides of our undoing
Is that even though nothing really works out in the end
That doesn't matter
What matters is that we had a damn good time doing it
Can I get an amen?
Now let the music play

Nothing really works out in the end
Never panning out as you intend
The only thing for certain as they drop that final curtain
Is that nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
Nothing really works out in the end
To aide that final misery a last insult to injury
Is that nothing really works out in the end
