Lyrics:
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 ‘em fly

But meanwhile we just keep on running
We’re going to the football every Saturday night
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I’m gonna dance in the flames
Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And life is a gambling game
It’s a gambling game

Driving down an alley in a rundown part of Hollywood
Saw the 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
I kept moving on to Silverlake
To play guitar with a brand new friend of mine

Divine intervention
Is out of the question
And I’m gonna dance in the flames
‘Cause divine intervention
Is out of the question
And life is a gambling game
It’s a gambling game

Divine intervention
Is out of the question
I’m gonna dance in the flames
Yeah
Divine intervention
Won’t give you protection
Life is a gambling game

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
To total disaster
I’m going down in the flames
When they try to arrest you
I come to your rescue
Life is a gambling game
