Minutes To Midnight Lyrics

Laying it all on the line

One last time

The stakes are high

With the ultimate crime

There's a war raging on

To see what survives

Just as we were having

The time of our lives

It's a tinderbox ready to blow

It's the very last night of the show

It's a doomsday scenario

With mere minutes to midnight

Minutes to midnight

The fire is burning

And people are incensed

Underestimating

What they're up against

Cos prove that we're wrong

And we'll walk it back

But show them the same

They change their line of attack

It's a tinderbox ready to blow

It's the very last night of the show

It's a doomsday scenario

With mere minutes to midnight

Minutes to midnight

A large crowd has formed

At the base of the tower

Looking for change

And speaking truth to power

But there's limited resolve

In leaders at large

Now tell me which of you fools

Put the gangsters in charge?

It's a tinderbox ready to blow

It's the very last night of the show

It's a doomsday scenario

With mere minutes to midnight

Minutes to midnight

The whisper that turned into a shout

Is still fighting not to be drowned out

Depending on who wears the crown

To stop, delay or reverse this countdown

It's a tinderbox ready to blow

It's the very last night of the show

It's a doomsday scenario

With mere minutes to midnight

Minutes to midnight
