Lyrics
Oh yes, heavy change
We're living with
Need a helping hand
It can be so unforgiving
Little Tommy can't learn to
Read or write
And my baby's afraid to leave her
House tonight
At the end of the century
Oh no, it's the end of the century
Why buy a book when we can
Get a tank
And all money disappears when we
Put it in a bank
Little Neil got caught with his
Fingers in that pie
Daddy just laughs it off
And it reaches high
It's the end of the century
Oh no, it's the end of the century
It's been what, 100 years?
Excuse me while I pour a drink, my dear
Well, we still miss Elvis
We can't say goodbye
Saw him in Detroit City
Living in disguise
Now I'm an old boy playing a
Young man's game
Baby, just love me tender
Before we go insane
At the end of the century
Oh no, it's the end of the century
Sometimes I worry I ain't
Leaving much
Just an old guitar and a soda
Beat up truck engine is
Blowing oil
And the fenders are rusting
I pray to God
Don't he hear my luck
Because one day they're gonna grow up
Start a life of their own
And pack their bags and move
Away from home
And every Christmas morning
On the telephone
In this great big old house
We'll be all alone
At the end of the century
Oh no, it's the end of the century
But I still love you, oh my dear
Save me from myself
Not there at the end of the century
Oh no, it's the end of the century
