Lyrics
The calm before the storm
Signs that should've warned
All of them ignored
All of them ignored
We knew the world would not be the same
It's gon get worse before it gets better
Few people laughed few people cried
I told you that you should be preparing for revolution
And maybe I was wrong
(Most people were silent)
Maybe what you should preparing for is
Science to confer upon us as its final gift
The power
To erase human life
The world is turning at a thousand miles an hour
Time is ours
Minutes and seconds and infinite subdivisions
That disconnect us from the higher power
We're finding ourselves at the intersection
Of the ruses truths and what's fate or choosin
Soon or later you decide it now or get ferried to it
No one man should have all that kind of power like Harry Truman
Many humans will be buried by it by the few who get married to it
Or inherit the ruins like Eisenhower
The survivors and cowards in ivory towers
Playin both sides biding the time to demise
Who are you in the final hour?
How far have we come in man's long pilgrimage
From darkness toward the light?
Are we nearing the light?
Fear leads to anger
Anger leads to hate
Hate leads to suffering
I sense much fear in you
Tyrants warlords and pious morons
Sittin there in the chair well aware that it's hardly a hot seat
When you got cheese that could bribe the court
But of course that's par for the private course
And of course chauffeurs can't drive a Porsche on thin air
So mind yours til the sky is orange
Hold high the torch and push cycles forward
Man evolved and the Cannibal Giant was born
World on fire can't curb our desire for more
Why settle for the iron and ore?
We want it all with no eitheror
Unlimited supply of finite resources
Spoils of oil from dinosaurs
Afford a watch more nice than your typical Fossil
So how could we not tell time is short?
(Einstein tried to warn us)
I worry about
(Third time's a charm)
A cataclysm that comes about
(If you defy the force)
For any number of contingent reasons
Suddenly we're facing apocalypse
(If we fight the fourth it'll be)
Total collapse of civilization
We sit in front of the television
Stare at our phones through a hellish vision
Training the masses through repetition
Right in your faces like estheticians
You think this life is an exhibition
You can't come back for an extra mission
Sometimes I just wanna rebel
And then bail to a country where there is no extradition
Got a sick love affair with the government
Won't change but afraid when the struggle hit
Addicted to the system; we assist them
When we all play along as a supplement
Poor lame keep beggin for more change
Receive that award as long as you more tame
The more that you buy in the more they restore pain
It's DEFCON 1 and this is a War Game
