   Is everyone afraid?  Is everyone  a-
 shamed?  They're  running towards their holes to  find out
   Apocalyptic  means are lost  amongst our
 dead  A message  to our friends to  get out
 There's  wages on this  fear Oh so
 clear  Depends  on what you'll pay  to
 hear  They're bound  to kill us
 all In  white-washed  halls  The jackals lick their
 paws Please don't  stop  It's lonely at the
 top  These  lonely  days  When will they ever
 stop?  This doomsday  clock  tickin' in my
 heart  Not broken
 |  |  |  |  | X2
   I love life everyday  in each  and every
 way  Khafka  would be proud,  to find  out
   I'm certain of the  end, it's the means  that has  me
 spooked  It takes  an unknown truth to get  out
 I'm  guessing  I'm born free, silly
 me  I was  meant to beg from  my
 knees  Please don't  stop  It's lonely  at the
 top  These  lonely  days  When will they ever
 stop?  This doomsday  clock  tickin' in my
 heart  These  lonely  days  when will  they ever
 stop?
   We gotta dig in  Gas masks  on
 Wait  in the sunshine,  all bug-eyed
 If  this is living?  Sakes alive!
 Well  then they can't  win, no one  sur
 -vives  Is everyone  afraid? You  should be a
 -shamed  Apocalyptic  screams mean  nothing to the
 dead  Kissing  that ol' sun to  know all there
 | |  |  F5G5|  | |half-measure |
 is Come on, last call!
  You  should want it
 all! Ah,  it's  lonely  at the
 top  These lonely  days  when will they  ever
 stop?  This  doomsday  clock  Ticking  in my
 heart  These lonely  days  when will they  ever
 stop?  This  ticking  in my
 heart  Is  everyone a-
 fraid?
