This May Not Be The End Of The World

John Mellencamp

Please be quiet, everyone's asleep 
Stella's locked her door and she's requested some peace 
She teaches the English at the American school 
She teaches imaginary numbers and the golden rule 
She says it's hard to worry about the future 
When your past is knocking at your door 
Sweet mistakes and information 
Have been her lovers before 

Hello, all you losers 
You've got nothing to fear 
This may not be the end of the world 
But you can see it from here 

She runs the motors and the music 
On the carousel ride 
She catches the children on the horses 
As they fall through the rye 
It's hard to see the future 
When your back is bending over your shoes 
It's hard holding on to nothing 
When you've got nothing to lose 

Hello, all your losers 
You've got nothing to fear 
This may not be the end of the world 
but you can see it from here 

I guess you heard about Ol' PeeWee 
We had to tear his playhouse down 
Then they put him in the electric chair 
We'll have some fun now 

When you see her, give her some compliments on her looks 
She'll be wearing a Mardi Gras dress 
Coming after you with words and books 
We've given you the best seats in the house 
So don't be late 
St. Peter is at the door 
And he ain't no man to wait 

Hello, all you losers 
You've got nothing to fear 
This may not be the end of the world 
But you can see it from here 

Hello, all you losers 
You've got nothing to fear 
This may not be the end of the world 
But you can see it from here
