Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better
Pray you're somewhere safe
We're transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold dead eye
As you're chopping up the carrot, sharpening their knives
Don't blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me up to pieces, cut me down to size
Don't dare, try to keep it inside
Cause the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Just when you thought you've seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray you're somewhere safe
Beat up, put the slate to the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future leaves me terrified
I'm sick of the same old lies
Why don't you talk about your feelings?
Who gives a shit about mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Because the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Just when you thought you've seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares till it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you
Better pray you're somewhere safe
Oh we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help when the world is blind
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh is to make us cry
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
(Our world's got no liberty)
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
(Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
(This world is a bitter place)
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
(Our world's got no liberty)
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
(Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time bomb ticking away
(This world is a bitter place)
