When I grow up it’s gonna suck
I’m gonna fail my classes, I’ll be out of luck
The air will be polluted
The water all diluted
There won’t be any food
We’ll be in a fearful mood
It’s gonna be apocalyptic, yeah
I’m just thinking realistic, yeah, yeah
Yeah
It’s gonna be apocalyptic, yeah
I’m just thinking realistic, yeah, yeah
Yeah
But don’t worry my friend
There’s a way to defend
It’s as easy as this
You’ll be living in bliss
It's gonna be apocalyptic, yeah
I’m just thinking realistic, yeah, yeah
Yeah
It’s gonna be apocalyptic, yeah
I’m just thinking realistic, yeah, yeah
Yeah
You’ll just have to earn more money
There’s no time to be funny
We just have to get more money
so we can move to Mars
We’re escaping world destruction
so we’ll have to travel far
yeah we’ll have to travel far
Yeah
It’s gonna be apocalyptic, yeah
I’m just thinking realistic, yeah, yeah
Yeah
It’s gonna be apocalyptic, yeah
I’m just thinking realistic, yeah, yeah
Yeah

Writing Prompt: write about your future
Fun and funny music for kids that you won't mind playing over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. We write music for and with children in the “lost” years of children’s music: ages 6 to 12.
