|
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 because 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 |
|
And they gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways |
|
Too late to make amends because 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 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 |
