Eurekas - While the World Was Ending (I Was in a Rock & Roll Band) Lyrics

Did you see the news this week?
The world's on fire
You'll be ninety one
Before you get to retire
And everything's inflating
Now apart from my pay
So I spend my packet making
Racket on a studio day

Hey, the prince committed
Felonies the papers think
Babe, if it doesn't
Have a melody I won't even blink

While the world was ending, ohh
I was in a rock and roll band
Why must you keep
On pretending you won't
Come along
For a ride with the band

Lorries at the border
For 1000 miles
And shortages of all
The things you need to survive
And something in the air
Is making people sick
But I'm just busy laying
Down some heavy licks

Hey, Eastern wars impending
Just saw on the box
Babe, I'm gunna
Put some headphones
In I just wanna rock

While the world was ending, ohh
I was in a rock and roll band
Why must you keep
On pretending you won't
Come along
For a ride with the band

Rightward drifting
Full time grifting
And we wonder
Where it all went wrong
Still pretending
It's never ending
I just wanna sing me a song

While the world was ending, ohh
I was in a rock and roll band
Why must you keep
On pretending you won't
Come along
For a ride with the band

While the world was ending, ohh
I was in a rock and roll band
Why must you keep
On pretending you won't
Come along
For a ride with the band

Come along for a ride
Come along for a ride
Come along for a ride
With the band
