Doomsday Clock
Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes to find out
Apocalyptic means are lost amongst our dead
A message to our friends to get out
There's wages on this fear
Oh so clear
Depends on what you'll pay to hear
They're bound to kill us all
In white-washed halls
The jackals lick their paws
Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
When will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock tickin' in my heart
Not broken
I love life everyday
in each and every way
Khafka would be proud, to find out
I'm certain of the end,
it's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I'm guessing that I'm born free, silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees
(chorus)
Please don't stop
It's lonely at the top
These lonely days
wWhen will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Well then they can't win, no one survives
Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that ol' sun to know all there is
Come onn, last call!
You should want it all!
(chorus)
Ah, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock
Ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?
