Lyrics
This Is Only a Test
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is only a test of the emergency broadcast system
This is a product of hysterical mass confusion
A ship of fools adrift on the winds of our pollution
Rudderless and powerless in the sea of our delusion
And we're all alone hoping one day someone will save us from
Ourselves
Secretly knowing that as far as we can tell
The world has an hungry parasite that's called the human race
And we're powerless to stop it we're resigned to our own fate
And no one cares, and one cares
This is only a test of the emergency broadcast system
This is a result of our own reckless ambition
The castles we have built have all become our prisons
