[Verse 1]
Back when I was young enough
To know from where I came
I saw my love be spat upon
And shouted down in shame
Well, I hung my head and shed a tear
When I went to change my name
But his honor told me, "Don't 'cha fear
'Cause it always ends the same"

[Chorus]
"It always ends the same," he said
"Always ends the same
Ah, remember, dear, this too shall pass
And it always ends the same"

[Verse 2]
Well, I was feeling so alone
When the congregation sang
Of Jesus Christ and Lucifer
And the price that I would pay
But the preacher told me not to fear
For they know not what they say
"Yeah, the history is on your side
And it always ends the same"

[Chorus]
"It always ends the same," he said
"Always ends the same
Ah, remember, dear, this too shall pass
And it always ends the same"

[Verse 3]
Now the fishes on the TV fly
In circles all the same
Like little children terrified
By what they can't explain
But when the suburb and the sky
Are both awash in flame
Oh, the television won't survive
And it always ends the same
[Chorus]
It always ends the same, you know
Always ends the same
Oh, remember, dear, this too shall pass
And it always ends the same

[Verse 4]
And when I'm finally old enough
To learn to play the game
Oh, the dinosaurs will roam the earth
And resume their bloody reign
But when I hear their victory song
I will hum the old refrain
No life can live forever on
And it always ends the same

[Chorus]
It always ends the same, you know
Always ends the same
Oh, remember, dear, this too shall pass
And it always ends the same
"It always ends the same," he said
"Always ends the same
Oh, remember, dear, this too shall pass
And it always ends the same"
