Walking down the street in new york city
A sandwich board read the end of the world is nigh
I looked up and saw the billionaires all scuttling
Scrambling to their bolt holes in the sky
Watch them fly!

But meanwhile we just keep on running
Going to the football every saturday night.

Yeah!
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I'm going to dance in the flames, yeah...
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And life is a gambling game
It's a gambling game.

Driving down an alley in a run-down part of hollywood
Saw her neon light at the psychic's sign
Through the gloom I asked her, 'what's my future?'
Well, she threw up and then broke down and cried
Tears in her eyes
But I kept moving on to silverhead
To play guitar with a brand-new friend of mine.

Yeah!
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I'm gonna dance in the flames, yeah
'cause divine intervention
Is out of the question
And life is a gambling game
It's a gambling game.

Yeah!
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I'm going to dance in the flame, yeah...
Divine intervention
Won't give you protection
And life is a gambling game.

Yeah...
Oh, yeah...
Come on, yeah...

Mmm, when the walls cave in
And the lights go dim
And I drag you out again
Well, dystopian values are too hot to handle
And I'm going out in a blaze
Can we run any faster?
It's a total disaster
I, I, I'm going down in the flames
Yeah, when they try to arrest you
I'll come to your rescue
Life is a gambling game.
