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
