One by one, ticking time bombs won
It's not the secrets of the government
That's keeping you dumb
Oh, it's the other way around, wait
What's that sound?
One by one, baby, here they come

He wants it easy he want it relaxed
Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that
Two steps forward, then three steps back alright

Won't you take a walk outside? Oh, no
Can't you find some other guy? Oh, no
One-nine-six-nine, what's that sound? Oh, no
Keeping down the underground, oh, no

The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end

He want it easy, he want it relaxed
Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that
Two steps forward then three steps back, it won't be easy

Won't you take a walk outside? Oh, no
Can't you find another guy? Oh, no
One-nine-six-three, what's that sound? Oh, no
Keeping down the underground, oh, no

The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end
The end has no end, the end has no end
