Nine Inch Nails — The Warning

[Verse 1] Some say it was a warning Some say it was a sign I was standing right there When it came down from the sky The way it spoke to us You felt it from inside Said it was up to us Up to us to decide "You've become a virus That's killing off its host We've been watching you with all of our eyes And what you seem to value most [Verse 2] So much potential Or so we used to say Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance You piss it all away We heard her cry We've come to intervene You will change your ways and you will make amends Or we will wipe this place clean" [Outro] Your time is tick-tick-ticking away Your time is tick-tick-ticking away Your time is tick-tick-ticking away Your time is tick-tick-ticking away Your time is tick-tick-ticking away Your time is tick-tick-ticking away Ticking away
