Words and Music by:
CHRIS FRYE & MARC ATKINSON (SOCAN)


Who will be left standing 
When comes the day of doom
Blackberry ivy and broom scotch broom
Blacberry ivy and broom

Who will be left standing
When comes the day of doom
Blackberry ivy and broom scotch broom
Blacberry ivy and broom

You got to scramble (scramble)
Through the bramble
Be reborn by the thorns
Got to get your jeans right ripped and torn
All round the world both clear and cryptic
Everybody’s gone apocolyptic
Scoparius and hederas
Have mercy on the rest of us
Why this tangled test of us?

Who will be left standing
When comes the day of doom
Blackberry ivy and broom scotch broom
Blacberry ivy and broom


Things could get wicked (wicked)
Down in the thicket
Where the images that captures us
All trip wire fire and rapturous
The elixir that they sell to us
All healin’ holy salubrious
Those who survive will be the plants the ants
The people who can dance

Who will be left standing
When comes the day of doom
Blackberry ivy and broom scotch broom
Blacberry ivy and broom

Who will be left standing
When comes the day of doom Blackberry ivy and old scotch broom
