Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Forces from the sidelines

Pushing for a race against time

Tempting us to deplete

Only to face a certain defeat

[Chorus]

Hey now! It's not random

If we're the ones to cause the storm

[Verse 2]

It's a numbers game

Ignoring all the combined tail end risks

[PreChorus]

Gambling with our common fate

To quench the thirst of a few

No time for the masses to be informed

To have a say, got to win the race

Just win the race

A race to lose control

[Verse 3]

Intentions don't matter much

As the dominos start to fall

[Chorus]

Hey now! It's not random

When we're the ones to cause the storm

Hey! It's not random

If we rise, just to peak and fall

Hey now! It's not random

It's still within our own control

Hey now! It's not random

When we're the ones to unleash a perfect storm
