Tick tock, the moving hands Tell a tale we understand Ever since the dawn of time We've been working on the perfect crime How long, how long Can we go on, go on It will be the end Thus all we know Will cease And this world's foregone Hired manpowers sent to war Was this really what we came here for? Harvesting forests will save the day Eventually there will be hell to pay Our time is nigh If we keep on passing by Save a breath for one last goodbye How long, how long Can we go on, go on It will be the end Thus all we know Will cease And this world's foregone What to do when the seas are killed By hunger, greed and waste What to do when pollution Fills every mouthful with distaste Sad to see our way of life mirrored And we still pretend That the world we've used and drained Will last until the end We're out of time Stand back and watch it burn So long, so long We can't go on, go on This is the end of all we know It's time, this world's foregone (How long, how long) So long, so long (Can we go on, go on) So wrong, so wrong It will be the end of all we know It's done, this world's foregone (How long, how long) (Can we go on, go on) (It will be the end) (Thus all we know) (Will cease) (This world's foregone)
