I'll Stop Loving You

if the christians are right and jesus falls from the sky
if the people in africa discontinue to die
if politicians and preachers and talk show hosts never lie
that's when i'll stop loving you
when the leading cause of death in america ceases to be heart disease
when parents stop asking 'what's the magic word' and children reply 'please'
when every goddamn body stops saying 'bless you' when you sneeze
that's when i'll stop loving you
when the number one song on the pop charts is actually good
and it makes you feel alright inside like good pop songs should
on the day that your true love returns, like he promised he would
that's when i'll stop loving you
when everybody realizes they are going to die quite soon
and furthermore recognize it doesn't have to be scary
after all what are we really doing with our time?
i'll spend mine
i'll spend mine
i'll spend...
i'll spend mine.
so you can take your life,
and shove it up what you say is right
and when we're all cast into some sort of everlasting night
oh, you's a gonna weep, and you's a gonna cry
but we'll still have our lives
