Lyrics
Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
The word it spoke to us
We felt it from inside
Said it was up to us
Up to us to decide
You've become a virus
That's tinkling off this host
We've been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
So much potential
Or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away
We heard a cry
We've come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
And we will wipe this place clean
Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
