It's in the air you breathe and it's also in the water
                                                          
It's something you can't see, you've been warned of by your mothers
                                                        
You've had enough deceit, You know enough to see Join the others
                                                        
When you could hardly breathe, you were wondering why you bothered
                                               
And they gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways
                                                 
Too late to make amends becase we both know how this ends

                         

                                                             
So do the right thing or do nothing. What will you do when they come for you?
                                                   
Or just do what is easier. What will you do when they come for you?
                                                                         
That's what I read what I swear they said to me. Nine times out of ten they lied to me
                                                     
And after all they had the guts to say Son, no one will save you now
                                      
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
                               
But something tells me they are wrong

                        


                                                                  
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
                                              
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
	                                                           
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
                                     
We might just make it after all, on our own
                                     
We might just make it after all
                                                
But we had one foot on the gas and one foot in the grave
                                          
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made
                                          
Everyone was laughing when we said we had it made

                     


                                               
They gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways
                                                 
Too late to make amends becase we both know how this ends


                                                                              
Started with six or seven, moved on to eight or nine. What will you do when they come 
you?
                                                                        
Nobody seemed to notice, nobody seemed to mind. What will you do when they come for you?
                                                                                 
Little miss demissed can't miss like a detuned radio. I cannot believe you when you tell 
what you know
                                                                                      
   
And nothing will be broken if your house is made of stone. But you will know as I do it 
never be a home


                                      
We want it, they got it. They claim we'll die without it
                               
But something tells me they are wrong

                     


                                                                  
So what will you do when they call your name and you're not ready to go?
                                              
Everyone will stare at you and tell you what you know
	                                                           
That you're in too deep and you can't quite keep your secrets, one and all
