About the world's insanity and how we've gotten lost
 Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
 And fake a smile as we all say goodbye

 Goodbye  oh goodbye

 Say a prayer for recognition  kiss the ones you love
 Gather up the ammunition  sigh for all the lost
 Strike up the band to play a song as we go waltzing by
 And fake a smile as we all say goodbye

 Raise a glass for ignorance, drink a toast to fear
 The beginning of the end has come that's why we all are here
 Strike up the band to play a song and try hard not to cry
 And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
 Goodbye
