D thousand years from now on
Am F G
The flame of life's gone out

The earth - a frozen wasteland

Man's evolution has lost
[Chorus]
Dm C
Don't tell me that we didn't know
Dm C
And that we haven't been told
Dm C Am G
The final s.o.s. we all ignored

We've seen the writing on the wall

The science of the madman
Am F G
Was getting out of control
Am F G
For every creature comfort
C Am F
There is a heavy toll
Am F G
We turned on mother nature
Am F G
Stabbed her deep in a back
Am G
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned her veins

Internal acid attack
[Chorus]

I'm just painting a picture

Of how it could be

But time's running out - the clock's ticking down
C
You're not blind - can't you see
[Chorus]
Dm C
Don't tell me that we still don't know
Dm C
And that we're not being told
Dm C Am G
The final s.o.s. we shouldn't ignore

Just read the writing on the wall
