It's in the air you breathe and it's also in the water
|
It's something you can't see, you've been warned of by your mothers
|
You've had enough deceit, You know enough to see
|
Join the others
|
When you could hardly breathe, you were wondering why you bothered
|
And they gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways
|
Too late to make amends becase we both know how this ends
|
So do the right thing or do nothing
|
(What will you do when they come for you?)
|
Or just do what is easier
|
(What will you do when they come for you?)
|
That is what I read what I swear they said to me
|
Nine times out of ten they lied to me
|
And after all they had the gall to say
|
"Son, no one will save you now"
|
We want it, they got it
|
They claim we'll die without it
|
But something tells me they are wrong
|
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
|
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
|
We might just make it after all, on our own
|
We might just make it after all
|
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
|
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
|
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
|
They gave us seven days, to renounce our wicked ways
|
Too late to make amends
|
'Cause we both know how this ends
|
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine
|
(What will you do when they come for you?)
|
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind
|
(What will you do when they come for you?)
|
Little miss dismissed can't miss like a detuned radio
|
I cannot believe you when you tell me what you know
|
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone
|
But you will know as I do it will never be a home
|
We want it, they got it
|
They claim we'll die without it
|
But, something tells me they are wrong
|
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
|
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
|
We might just make it after all, on our own
|
We might just make it after all
|
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
|
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
|
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
