The Last Man On Earth

Well, I guess I'm the last man on earth And there's hardly no hope for rebirth For this morning when I awoke All the world had gone up in smoke I'm worn out and weary and stranded Barefoot and empty handed Just wanderin' and walkin' on through Through the world that I once knew It seems that I've been left behind With the ghosts and the phantoms of time And it's too easy to get lost When the whole world's one big cloud of dust I walked up to the shops and the stores But they wasn't there anymore I walked down to the homes in the town But there wasn't none left around The green had been stripped from the trees The blue had been sucked from the seas The sun had been swept from the skies And the light had been seized from my eyes Through the ruins and rubble I roam All alone in the great unknown For mankind has been overthrown And look what they done to our home How much, how much could they feel To be so hard and colder than steel? And how breathless can be their kiss That a whole world can cease to exist? But the truth is as dry as the land And it falls on this last hungry man And it ain't from nobody else We done what we done to ourselves Well, I'm the very last man on earth And I'm sorry for all that it's worth And my only hope is you see That, my love, you don't end up like me
