[Sinner, Naumann, Beyrodt] The day the world's colliding The sky's turning red The same excuses as always World's rotten in their hands Vizualized destruction, there's no one to blame? And what's the value for a human life On a mission 'survival' This is not the war between good and evil It's time for pure instinct to save our soul The school of hard knocks One is up - one is down And there's greed all around And you're caught in The school of hard knocks One is up - one is down And there's greed all around And you're caught in The school of hard knocks They got the dollars in their hearts It's not garbage they take They got power in their hands But what's the price they will pay This is not the war between good and evil It's time for pure instinct to save our soul You won't believe my warnings I can hear mother nature's calling If wasteland's gettin' cold Count to ten... and explode One is up - one is down And there's greed all around And you're caught in The school of hard knocks The school of hard knocks
