Raindrops falling from the sky Teardrops falling from your eye Is anybody out there on your side? Lights out, it’s on the night This organized humanity Is borderline insanity But don’t panic, be cool Welcome to the streets with no rules They don’t alert you about the curfew First they search you, then they merk you Psychological, diabolical Biological, highly volatile Knocked on the door with Josephina Dropped herself in the arena What did we learn from Katrina? I hope you can swim if you’re waiting on FEMA
What if the lights go out? Right now right now right now right now right now right now What if the lights go out? Right now right now right now right now right now right now
Follow your heart, follow the light The light within, it will show you the way Follow your heart, follow the light The light within, it will show you the way
