Catastrophe

Woke up Tuesday morning and the whole world turned to red

Buildings falling to the ground, three thousand lying dead

Bodies falling from the sky, no one stopping asking why

Before the billowing smoke has settled back we'll be ready to attack

Now we'll be working all day all night long

Just to get back where we started from

[Chorus:]

Can't take no more of this shit but there's no end to it in sight

In the glow of the dying light the smoke gets in my eyes

Woke up Wednesday morning and the hammer is coming down

A uniform on every corner, hypocrisy all around

Wave goodbye to common sense, embrace our newfound prejudice

Before we've finished counting our dead we're demanding new bloodshed

Now we'll be working all day all night long

Just to get back where we started from

[Chorus]

Liberty or security?

Burn it fucking down

Feed at the feast don't foot the bill

Eat of the flesh don't feel the kill

There's a cold wind blowing and a hungry tide

Waiting just outside the castle gates

Now we'll be working all day all night long

Just to get back where we started from

And that wasn't much to start with

[Chorus]

The smoke gets in my eyes

And the sights and the sounds and the smells they paralyze
