Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
OOH YEAH, OH-OH-OH-OH-O
SAT NEXT TO A GUY AT QUINCY'S, STARTED TALKING IT UP,
‘BOUT HOW WE BOTH FELT THE WORLD WAS ON A COURSE TO SELF-DESTRUCT.
HE SAID HE NEEDED A DRINK AFTER HEARING 'BOUT THE LATEST SHOOTINGS ON TV,
AND I TOLD HIM I JUST FOUND OUT SOME HACKER TRIED TO STEAL HIS IDENTITY.
WE AGREED AI WAS THE DEVIL THAT WOULD LEAD US TO OUR DOOM,
AND HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT’S BECOME TO TELL FAKE NEWS FROM REAL TRUTH.

[CHORUS 1]
YEAH EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND, SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING CRAZY’S GOING DOWN.
INFLATION WRECKING THE ECONOMY, OR THERE’S A NEW CRISIS OVERSEAS.
YEAH, IT'S WHAT THE WORLD HAS COME TO, AND THERE AIN'T NO WAY TO MASK IT.
FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD IS GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL … IN A HAND-BASKET.
OOOOOH, YEAH, HELL IN A HAND BASKET, OH NO.

[VERSE 2]
WE TALKED ABOUT SIMPLER DAYS, BEFORE THE WORLD WENT ONLINE,
WHEN YOU MET YOUR BLIND DATE FACE TO FACE, HAD TO LOOK HER IN THE EYE.
WE SAID WE WERE SO DAMN SICK AND TIRED AT HOW DIVIDED WE’VE BECOME,
AND HOW ALL THE FIGHTING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BOTH SIDES MADE OUR BRAINS GO NUMB.
HE SAID MOST OF HIS FRIENDS LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK, CREDIT CARDS RUN TO THE MAX,
I SAID HEAR YOU MAN JUST ABOUT EVERYONE I KNOW IS LIVING OFF PROZAC.

[CHORUS 2]
Repeat

[BRIDGE]
YEAH THE TRUTH IS PLAIN TO SEE, AND IT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.
THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS MESS IS TO PUT ASIDE OUR DIFFERENCES.
SHOW EACH OTHER JUST A LITTLE GRACE, TRY TO GET ALONG
WE MAY BE HERE TODAY BUT TOMORROW WE’LL BE GONE

[CHORUS 3]
Repeat

[OUTRO]
IF WE COULD JUST SHOW SOME LOVE AND KINDNESS
MAN THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC
WE JUST MIGHT SAVE THE WORLD
FROM GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL … IN A HANDBASKET

OOH-OH-OH, YEAH HELL IN A HANDBASKET, GOOD LORD
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH-OH, OH NO UH-UHH-UH-UHH
