I don't know the reason why I seem to need a release
   I can't stand to beg for favors like a child on his knees
   But I won't go on a minute 'til I get me some peace
   On the road to Armageddon
  
   I done things I'd be ashamed to see in black and white
   There are times I miss distinctions over wrong and right
   But I'm gonna get an answer when I get there tonight
   On the road to Armageddon
  
   It's the wrong world
   I must be on the wrong planet
   I been checkin' it out
   And I know what it's all about
  
   Mr. and Mrs. Universe
   In their cabin in the sky
   She's a little bit of heaven
   He's one hell of a guy
   And like all suburban couples they may have a spat
   But that is that
   It's back to normal
   And it's your night to feed the cat
  
   Let us raise a glass
   And we'll drink a toast
   And the devil will dance
   With the Holy Ghost
   And the good and the wicked
   The strong and frail
   They will all join hands
   At the end of the world
