lyrics

Countdown

Political thinking from any point of view
Is just another focus but how much is true
If you get along yes then you're probably leaning right
If you don't, then you'll want to be inside
Countdown

Floodwaters grow, volcanoes erupt
Too much of nothing never have enough
Poking through the garbage looking for some food
I saw it with my own eyes, could not believe it was true
Countdown

Long white fingers clutching green bills
They don't mind don't count who they kill
Overweight meat-eaters, mostly well dressed
You can tell they've been and gone
They never leave nothing left
Countdown

You see it the Philippines you got it down south
Everywhere there are jails you got people busting out
Chile, Ireland, Palestine too,
Way too many places, way too many people overdue
Countdown

Our great white fathers meet out East
Meanwhile back here on the streets
We've guns, incest, drugs and crime
Hang on to yours folks,
I'm putting bars on mine
Countdown

Our sons and daughters growing up too fast
In a world that they know nothing ever lasts
You better grow, gotta hurry, better get it while it lasts
You gotta hurry man, hurry, hurry, and hurry, hurry
Countdown
