More great lyrics from The National:

Everybody needs a prayer, and needs a friend
Everybody knows the world’s about to end

Everybody wants to know what the end will be
Everybody wants to look before they leap

Everybody wants a sip of wine to drink
Everybody wants a little more time to think

Everybody needs a reason why they run
Everybody wants to know what they’re running from

Change that “wine” to “beer” and it’s even better.
