Some folks ain't in no rush to start a war
But some folks just wanna burn it all
These engineers they like to think they know
But nobody can tell me where it goes
There are no words for this catastrophe
A thousand songs for this tragedy
The systems that we built and all we've lost
We engineer and don't consider cost
The engineer
The engineer
The engineer
The engineer
The engineer he tells me not to fear
Says there's no chance of crashing down from here
He's gonna try and build a bigger boat
But when it all goes down we're all gonna float
He don't think we're going off the rails
He's thinking this one's going to last
He says he loves to think about the future
And he loves to think about the past
The engineer
The engineer
The engineer
The engineer
