Yeah, it's obvious you DON'T understand. But maybe I don't either, and this is just my take on the song.. but in the first stanza, the line "alleluia, spread the cheer" is pretty much self-explainatory and sarcastic - this being the end of the world and all. And the millenarians, being people who believe that a new millenium of great peace and prosperity is coming, partying forever.. could represent the writer's opinion that great peace and prosperity won't ever be seen until the world IS over. Being the world as we know it now.. which is the very opposite of that great peace.
It's either that, or the writer is talking about "the end" being the end of all bad.. and then none of it would be sarcastic. But then, really, the rest of the song wouldn't exactly work.
Take it as you want. I only gave my opinion of that first stanza, 'cause that seemed to be the one you were confused about. Maybe now you can "decifer" the rest of the song. Ryan.
