Loudon Wainwright III - Last Man On Earth Lyrics
In the year 2000my age was 53born in the first halfof the last centuryI always was post-modernbut that's ancient historyNow I'm the last man on Earththat's what the matter is with meI guess I'm old fashionedRetro to a degreeyou could say I'm a throw-backanachronisticallyair conditioning is here to stayand that makes me unhappycause I'm the last man on Earththat's what the matter is with meI don't have a portfolioI gotta pleed guiltythe best things are the worthless nowthat's just because they're freeand if your not a millionaire yetboy, you better beNow, I'm the last man on Earththat's what the matter is with meI should be optimisticand go buy some bonds and stocksThey'll find a cure for Cancer soonwe may get trigger-locksexistence is no picnicas statistics all have shownwe learn to live togetherand then we die aloneeverybody's got a websitebut that's all Greek to meI don't own a computerI hate that letter "e"I don't pack a cell phoneor drive an SUVYes, I'm the last man on Earththat's what the matter is with meI'm the last man standingsave the last dance for meI've taken the last train to ClarksvilleI'm the fifth monkeynice guys always finish lastno one's nicer than meYeah, I'm the last man on EarthThat's what the matter is with meKid's used to say their prayers at nightbefore they went to bedSt. John told us that God is loveNietzsche said he was deadthis thing we call existencewho knows what it all means?Time and Life and Peopleare just glossy magazinesI sat and watched those guysdebate each other on TVpoliticians, wrestlersthey're all the same to mehey, I don't give a damnwhich idiot runs this countrySince I'm the last man on EarthIt don't matter to meIn the year 2000my age was 53I know that I'm grumpymiddle-aged crazybut if you are a womanyou might have to sleep with meSince I'm the last man on Earthand I can guaranteeI'm the last man on Earthand there ain't nothing wrong with me
