The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb So keep your calm and carry on The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb
[Verse 1:] The sun may never rise again The question ain’t if but when The see will boil and the sky will fall The sun may never rise again
The silent war has begun We’re staring down a loaded gun No refuge found on solid ground This human race can’t be won
[Chorus:] The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb So keep your calm and carry on The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb
And it’s about to explode
(The whole world) [x4]
[Verse 2:] They’re reaching in my pockets again The ice we’re standing on is thin Making plans with greedy hands They’re reaching in my pockets again
The future is a dying art Laying in a ditch in the dark I need you here but all I hear (is) The beating of a broken heart
[Pre-Chorus:] Don’t wait to say goodbye You’re running out of time Whatever you believe It’s easy to see
[Chorus:] The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb So keep your calm and carry on The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb
And it’s about to explode [x2] (The whole world) The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb And it don’t care what side you’re on The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb So keep your calm and carry on The whole world’s sitting on a ticking bomb
