Just the flu

Looking back to the past,
Predictions of the end
Unseen ultra violet rays
Are beating on my head
Nuclear threat want to bet will be our demise
The day will come when we’ll look to apocalyptic skies
When the news had spread, that soon we’d all be dead
Well it just blew our minds
No one could have guessed that our worst fears at best
Figments of our time
So it seems that our dreams will never come to be
How can such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
A few weeks till extinction and there’s nothing we can do
A message sent to other worlds will say “It was just the flu”
There’s no lesson to be learned
There’s no one left to learn it
