the clock is counting down   to a final resignation   another crowning curtain call   a global meldown   leaves a trail of devastation   it carves the writing on the well - oh you know      we've never seen this kind of world   it's a warning to us all   we've never seen this kind of world   and i hope that we can stop this cannonball      we played the lead role   with a lack of education   and pay a price we'll never know   our future's been sold   by a profit margin generation   we're all invited to the show - oh you know      we've never seen this kind of world   it's a warning to us all   we've never seen this kind of world   and i hope that we can stop this cannonball      cause when it all comes crashing down -    down from above there will be no salvation   is there anything that can save us - from ourselves      we've never seen this kind of world   it's a warning to us all   we've never seen this kind of world   and i hope that we can stop this cannonball
