When worlds collide, the best of us

Won't be here with the rest of us

They'll drop before the paint has dried

When worlds collide, when worlds collide



The young today, I must confess

Have lost the path of righteousness

By settling for something less

The smarty pants, they fail to see

The posture of mortality

Is just like common currency

That's the way it works for me



So I dress like a brushing bride

Because my every move is sanctified

By claiming God is on my side

When worlds collide, when worlds collide



When worlds collide, the virtuous

Will have to take the shuttle bus

But we in limousines shall ride

When worlds collide, when worlds collide



These kids today, they have no pluck

Don't know the value of a buck

They think all politicians suck

But managing economies

Is one of my best qualities

Especially to friends like these

I can favor the ones I please



And if the mandate should be denied me

Then there's always something kept aside

If you have grease then you can slide

When worlds collide, when worlds collide



When worlds collide, the devious,

The cunning, and mischevious

Will mourn the moral men who died

When worlds collide, when worlds collide



The youth today, I must relate

Have not learned to appreciate

The pleasures of the city-state

They waste themselves on drugs and sex

And boogieing in discotheques

I'll take them by their bleach-blond necks

And conscript those I don't reject



Then I'll serve them butchered and fried

For a commander can sleep satisfied

When someone's licking one's backside

When worlds collide, when worlds collide
