End of the World
This isn't a round. I'll put a real word up in a while. I need help filling in an end of the world playlist for this: http://sandradodd.blogspot.com/2008/09/can-world-be-ending-again.html
Above is what I thought of on my own, but I figured I should ask the scattered experts who come here!

It's the end of the world as we know it (It's time I had some time alone) and I feel fine.
REM
The time has come to leave again
Activate The Noah Plan
Returning to the universe
Give out the word
Abandon earth
-Peter Schilling "The Noah Plan"
Doesn't actually use the phrase "end of the world," but it's about the earth drifting into the sun. Gaaah! Run away, run away!
Since this isn't a regular game word, I'm going to post another while it's still in my mind:
They're rioting in Africa
They're starving in Spain
There're hurricanes in Florida
And Texas needs rain
The whole world is festering with unhappy souls
The French hate the Germans
The Germans hate the Poles
Italians hate Yugoslavs
South Africans hate the Dutch
And I don't like anybody very much
But we can be tranquil
And thankfilled and proud
For man's been endowed
With a mushroom-shaped cloud
And we know for certain
That some happy day
Someone will set the spark off
And we will all be blown away
They're rioting in Africa
There's strife in Iran
What nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow man
-"Merry Minuet" by the Kingston Trio
Jackson Browne's "Before the Deluge" is an end of the world as we know it sort of song.
Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make
(Lennon/McCartney)
Oh, I thought of another one. "Eve of Destruction" - Barry McGuire recorded it most famously
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
Waves of regret, waves of joy,
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy,
But you, you said you'd wait
Until the end of the world.
U2
I couldn't remember the lyrics, but I figured it wasn't cheating to look them up since it's not part of the game.
"99 Red Balloons" by Nena is about a nuclear holocaust:
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go...
Sarah stuck Weird Al's first album in the cd player in the car tonight, and there was that weird apocolyptic song "Happy Birthday" that I'd forgotten all about...
There's nowhere you can run to
Nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one
We all get fried
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
