Track 22 of 23 on the album "Headlines and Footnotes: A Collection of Topical Songs" (1999) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
   G       A         D
To make a long, long story terse

F#              Bm
  Be it blessing, be it curse

    G                  D/F#
The Lord designed this universe

     Em            A
With built-in obsolescence

     G         A       D
Each twinkling little star and sun

  F#            Bm
Enjoys its own atomic run

  G                D/F#
Exploding when its time is done

     Em     A    D
With cosmic incandescence
[Verse 2]
 G         A   D
Astronomers predict someday

F#                Bm
  Our own sun will blaze away;

G                  D/F#
There'll be a glorious display

   Em              A
Of sunburst helium masses

    G      A      D
Our little planet Earth below

     F#            Bm
Will join this pyrotechnic show

     G            D/F#
With blazing hydrogen aglow

    Em    A       D
And thermonuclear gasses
[Verse 3]
      Em                A
Thank God this great combustion day

   A               Bm
Is several billion years away

   G         D/F#
So as philosophers all say

    Em                  A
Why fret, why fume, why worry?

  G        A         D
A jillion moons will wane and wax

F#                        Bm
  Sit down, make out your income tax

  G                 D/F#
Enjoy your life, be calm, relax

    Em     A     D
For God is in no hurry
[Outro]
     Em                A
But, oh, my friends, I have a hunch

N.C.                   Bm
Mankind might beat God to the punch
