Trouble for you and me, another madman's victory

His itchy fingers want the thrill

Propaganda for our eyes, we can sit and criticise

Never mind the price, we'll foot the bill

Hear the ticking of the timebomb, it's too late

Hear the ticking of the timebomb, it's too late

See the hands of the clock spin round, never ever gonna slow it down

Know the ticking of the timebomb, it won't wait

The Time Police we fight, like kissing dynamite

They drip feed us everyday

Shops closed in Chinatown, red clouds are coming down

Hear the news as experts have their say

Hear the ticking of the timebomb, it's too late

Hear the ticking of the timebomb, it's too late

See the hands of the clock spin round, never ever gonna slow it down

Know the ticking of the timebomb, it won't wait

Ooh, we thought we had it all

We didn't read between the lines

Ooh, we never opened our eyes

And lived the life that was our time

Hear the ticking of the timebomb

Fear the ticking of the timebomb

Hear the ticking of the timebomb

Fear the ticking of the timebomb

Hear the ticking of the timebomb, it's too late (Better run for your life)

Hear the ticking of the timebomb, it's too late (Better run for your life)

See the hands of the clock spin round, never ever gonna slow it down

Know the ticking of the timebomb, it won't wait

Hear the ticking of the timebomb (In the air)

Fear the ticking of the timebomb (In the air)

Hear the ticking of the timebomb (Around, around, around, around)

Hear the ticking of the timebomb (In the air)

Fear the ticking of the timebomb (In the air)

Hear the ticking of the timebomb
