1. IT'S ALL BEEN A WASH

Sitting on my own
Writing words across the page
What can I do to convince you?

I’ll make a video
Make a point of what I know to be true
You stupid fools

It’s the end of the world
It’s all been a wash
It’s all been a wash

And I feel so lost and confused
In so many ways
In a couple of days it will all be done

Will we see a polar flip?
Perhaps our friend will make a trip
To this time
I’m sure it’s fine

Been wrong so many times
Running out of chances here to prove I’m right
But then I’m right
