Clock Winds Down lyrics
Clock Winds Down lyrics
It's hard to know what to say
As the world around us fades away
Reason falls on deaf ears
And the truth dissolves and disappears
As the clock winds down
Morning signs, years ago
We did not want to know
All-consuming selfish ways
Now there's a price to pay
As the clock winds down
The ice-caps melt, the Amazon burns
To the point of no return
The grid goes down, screams go blank
We'll be walking down the plank
As the clock winds down
See the children take to the streets
When they hear Greta Thunberg speak
I'll watch the young warriors climb down from the trees
Chain themselves to machinery
As the clock winds down
La la la...
It's hard to know what to say
When the child looks up and says:
"Hey old man, what did you do?
We were depending on you!"
Now the clock winds down
Yeah, now the clock winds down
Yeah, now the clock winds down
To zero
