It Ain't the End of the World (As Used in the Film 2012)

It ain't the end of the world

I got a feeling that the wind has changed

And those leaves are starting to churn

My hair's going gray and I must convey

My figure has seen better days

Well don't you despair, 'cause I got it made

A motto I choose to believe

If your life's a lemon, and made lemonade

There's always a final reprieve

It ain't the end of the world, buddy

Life rolls along like before

There's a twist and a turn

To each lesson you learn

First you're up then you're bust

Living life on a crust

But it ain't the end of the world

It's only a fly in your soup

If your car falls apart

Or a broad breaks your heart

It's a stink, just a kink

Nothing more

They say we're getting rusty, we should take a bow

Throw a saddle on that mule and disappear

You first, 'cause I'm not quite done and we're still having fun

Just like wine getting better every year

'Cause it ain't the end of the world, buddy

Life rolls along like before

It's a pain in the neck'

And a pain in the back

But it ain't the end of the world

So smile when they show you to the door

There's a sunrise waiting on the other shore

Go ride your luck in the face of disaster

Make every moment a blast-er

It ain't the end of the world, buddy

Life rolls along like before

There's a twist and a turn

To each lesson you learn

First you're up then you're bust

Living life on a crust

But it ain't the end of the world, buddy

It's only the end of this song

It's been a gas, been a flip

Been a hell of a trip

But it ain't the end of the world
