Back when I was young enough to know from where I came,
I saw my love be spat upon and shouted down in shame.
Well I hung my head and shed a tear, when I went to change my name,
But his honor told me don't 'cha fear, because it always ends the same.
It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.
Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
Well I was feeling so alone, when the congregation sang,
Of Jesus Christ and Lucifer, and the price that I would pay.
But the preacher told me not to fear, for they know not what they say,
Yeah the history is on your side, and it always ends the same.
It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.
Ah, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
Now the fishes on the TV fly, in circles all the same,
Like little children terrified of what they can't explain.
But when the suburb and the sky, are both awash in flame,
Oh the television won't survive, and it always ends the same.
It always ends the same, you know, always ends the same.
Oh, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
And when I'm finally old enough to learn to play the game,
Oh the dinosaurs will roam the earth, and resume their bloody reign.
But when I hear their victory song, I will hum the old refrain,
No life can live forever on, and it always ends the same.
It always ends the same, you know, always ends the same.
Oh, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
It always ends the same, he said, always ends the same.
Oh, remember dear this too shall pass, and it always ends the same.
