I went out a-walkin'
On a bright and cheerful day
I came on to a fork in the road
And I lost my way
The sky it blew darker
And a wind nearly blew me down
People rushing 'round like maniacs
And I heard a frightening sound
Today is the day
The rivers are all crestin'
The dams are about to break
Nothing can hold back the water
Nothing left behind the wake
The grocery stores are all crazy
People grabbing at every last scrap
The thin veil of civility is gone with a snap
Today is the day
People hunker in their bunkers
They are waiting for all clear
They gather 'round their radios
And listen to the waves of fear
No one could have predicted
That this would ever come to pass
Blame the nut job we put in charge
Who put us all in this morass
