The champagne's cold, the sparklers bright
We toast to dreams on New Year's night
Ignore the smoke, the warming seas
It's all fine, just smile, say cheese
Don't look up, don't look around
The stars still shine, the music's loud
Close your eyes, make a wish
Forget the fire, steal a kiss
Everything is just fine, can't you see?
Raise a glass to our shared fantasy
Ignore the fires, ignore the signs
Happy New Year, the future's divine
The clock strikes twelve, the world's on cue
Another year to misconstrue
From melting ice to rising tides
We sip champagne as the planet cries
Don't look back, don't check the news
The truth's too harsh, we'll pick and choose
Keep it light, the mood is great
Let's party on-why contemplate?
Everything is just fine, can't you see?
Raise a glass to our shared fantasy
Ignore the wars, ignore the signs
Happy New Year, the future's divine
The skies are red, the forests fade
But we're too blessed to be afraid
Let's count our luck, it's all we need
In ignorance, we plant our seed
Look around, the cracks are clear
The cheers are drowned by rising fear.
The countdown ticks, the clock won't wait
We laugh too loud to hear our fate
Everything is just fine, can't you see?
Raise a glass to our shared fantasy
Ignore the pain, ignore the signs
Happy New Year, the future's divine
Everything is fine, oh, can't you tell?
We're ringing in a brand-new hell
