CRASH AND BURN


It started at a point in time
when the world was catching up faster than it aught to be,
and we thought we could control it
We put together brilliant minds
to conceive the means and make it a reality,
so the whole world could behold it
Then it took a wild turn
because the best laid plans are sometimes not enough,
and it happened so fast
that no one ever questioned why,
now we lie in wait in despair and uncertainty
and we thought we could control it


Crash,
put out the fire with gasoline,
we're singing hail to victory,
and the beast is there to join us
Burn,
it's a lesson that we'll never learn,
so we're doomed to repeat in turn,
the sins that came before us


We all ignored the warning signs
with the pressure building up faster than it aught to be,
and we thought they could control it
They put together to brilliant lies
to reprieve their deeds and make a new reality
so that they alone controlled it
Then it took a violent turn
because the things they said were just not adding up,
and it happened so fast...
And no one quite remembers why,
now there is no trace, it's nothing but a memory,
cause we thought we could control it


Crash,
put out the fire with gasoline,
we're singing hail to victory,
and the beast is there to join us
Burn,
it's a lesson that we'll never learn,
so we're doomed to repeat in turn,
the sins that came before us


It's gonna crash and burn...


Crash,
put out the fire with gasoline,
we're singing hail to victory,
and the beast is there to join us
Burn,
it's a lesson that we'll never learn,
so we're doomed to repeat in turn,
the sins that came before us


and again, and again,
and again, and again,


and again, and again,
and again, not again...
