Lyrics


1. TIME IS TICKING OUT

We'd better think about the things we say
We'd better think about the games we play
The world went round - Around and round
We'd better think about the consequences
We'd better think about the global senses
The time went out - The time went out

What about Chernobyl?
What about radiation?
We don't know - We don't know
What about deprivation?
Gluttony - The human nation
We don't know - We don't know
For me love is all - For me love is all
For me love is all - For me love is all
Time is ticking out

Looks like we screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
The time went out - The time went out

What about our children then?
Is there nothing left for them?
We don't know - We don't know
For me love is all - For me love is all
For me love is all - For me love is all
They need oxygen - They need oxygen
For me love is all - For me love is all

Time is ticking out - Yeah
The time is ticking out

3. SHATTERED (LIVE)

I'm trying to control myself
So please don't stand in my way
I've waited for the longest time
This is what I wanted in my way

[Pre-Chorus] (x2)
Move over - Move over
There's a climax coming in my way

[Chorus]
I don't like you - Don't compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I'm not very fond of you and your lies
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile

All the kids are going back to school
The summer is over - It's the golden rule
And now I'm coming out to play
So please don't stand in my way
And all the things that seemed once to be
So important to me
Seem so trivial now that I can see

[Pre-Chorus] (x2)

[Chorus]

Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile

(x2)
Shattered by your weakness
I was shattered by your smile

Please don't stand in my way
