Ever Since The World Ended - Mose Allison

Ever since the world ended

I don’t go out as much

People that I once befriended

Just don’t bother to stay in touch

Things that used to seem so splendid

Don’t really matter today

It’s just as well the world ended

It wasn’t working anyway

Ever since the world ended

There’s no more bible belt

Remember how we all pretended

Going 'round lying about the way we felt

Every rule has been amnded

There’s no-on keeping score

It’s just as well the world ended

We couldn’t have taken much more

Ever since the world ended

There’s no more black or white

Ever since we all got blended

There’s no more reason to fuss and fight

Dogmas that you once defended

No longer seem worthwhile

Ever since the world ended

I face the future with a smile
