This whole island used to be a bunch of thickets and schist; I used to be a Berkman fanboy And in the long run, everything’s all right And in the long run, everything is fine And in the long run, I won’t have to worry about keeping time Back in school my dude we used to look like Leopold and Loeb Back then the thought of my mortality would make my head implode Now don’t I look just like a genius for predicting my own end? I’m fairly certain that it’s coming down the line. O never fear, bro, naught's to dread, look not to left nor right: In all the endless road you tread there's nothing but the night. So I’ll keep running and keep running and keep running, and keep running, and keep running, and keep running. And on my long run, what am I running from? And on my long run, what am I running toward? On my long run, I make up these songs so that I won’t get bored And in the long run, the the names turn to numbers And in the long run, the house always wins And in the long run, I won’t have to worry about staying thin And in the long run my song won’t amount to anything And in the long run the stars will burn down to nothing And in the long run I won’t have to worry about what you think
