Catastrophe Lyrics

Woke up Tuesday morning and the whole world turned to red
Buildings falling to the ground, three thousand lying dead
Bodies falling from the sky, no one stopping asking why
Before the billowing smoke has settled back we'll be ready to attack

Now we'll be working all day all night long
Just to get back where we started from

[Chorus:]
Can't take no more of this shit but there's no end to it in sight
In the glow of the dying light the smoke gets in my eyes

Woke up Wednesday morning and the hammer is coming down
A uniform on every corner, hypocrisy all around
Wave goodbye to common sense, embrace our newfound prejudice
Before we've finished counting our dead we're demanding new bloodshed

Now we'll be working all day all night long
Just to get back where we started from

[Chorus]

Liberty or security?
Burn it fucking down

Feed at the feast don't foot the bill
Eat of the flesh don't feel the kill
There's a cold wind blowing and a hungry tide
Waiting just outside the castle gates

Now we'll be working all day all night long
Just to get back where we started from
And that wasn't much to start with

[Chorus]

The smoke gets in my eyes
And the sights and the sounds and the smells they paralyze
