Lyrics

Let’s pretend it’s the end, of this whole ugly story
We vanquished the foe and we triumphed in glory
There’s nothing but rainbows and blue skies ahead
Hallelujah, amen, it’s the end

We threw off the yoke, and we broke all the shackles
We tore down the walls, and we burned down the castle
The oppressors all scattered, and naked, they fled
Hallelujah, amen, it’s the end

    And into the thin air vanished
    Tyrants banished
    To dust

    And all their adoring masses
    Stare right at us
    Faces savage
    And hushed

The foundation is rotten, the walls are decaying
So throw down a tarp, grab a brush, and get painting
We’ll cover the cracks with a bag of cement
Hallelujah, amen, it’s the end

The blood in the water remains from the battle
We’re draining the swamp with a broom for a paddle
We’ll build a new bridge with the bones of the dead
Hallelujah, amen, it’s the end

    [Chorus]

I’m sure we’ll all live happily ever after
Surrounded by butterflies, children and laughter
It’s a fairytale story, so let’s just pretend
Hallelujah, amen, it’s the end
Happily ever after, the end
