Apocalypse is coming
Everybody's feeling the weight
Endless apprehension
Too much sorrow on our plate
Baby take a moment
Everybody take a breath
This old earth depends on birth
As much as it depends on death
I woke up in Brooklyn
Under the Manhattan bridge
You can't separate the wine from the grapes
And the magnet on the fridge
It's a circle not a straight line
It's just going round and round
You don't have a plan, join in if you can
Open your mouth, it don't matter the sound
You've got to sing that simple harmony
You don't have to sing it perfectly
Sing it once then let's sing it again
If it's a comedy or a tragedy
It doesn't matter much to me
Sing that simple harmony my friend
Take me to the country
Take me home to meet your mum and dad
Read me from teenage journals
You forgot you even had
When did you read that book dear
The one that you keep to the bone
Did it make you grieve
Or did it make you believe
That the end of the show, we may not be alone
That old time religion
Never did much for me
But I'll never tire of that gospel choir
It's spirit get me moving my feet
Started off in Detroit, all the way to Mexico
Down in Brazil, man it gives me a thrill
'Cause I want to go where the people all know
You've got to sing that simple harmony
You don't have to sing it perfectly
Sing it once then let's sing it again
If it's a comedy or a tragedy
It doesn't matter much to me
Sing that simple harmony my friend
You've got to sing that simple harmony (sing that simple harmony)
You've got to sing that simple harmony (sing that simple harmony)
You've got to sing that simple harmony (sing that simple harmony)
You've got to sing that simple harmony (sing that simple harmony)
You've got to sing that simple harmony
You don't have to sing it perfectly
Sing it once then let's sing it again
If it's a comedy or a tragedy
It doesn't matter much to me
Sing that simple harmony my friend
Sing that simple harmony
You don't have to sing it perfectly
Sing it once then let's sing it again
If it's a comedy or a tragedy
It doesn't matter much to me
Sing that simple harmony my friend
