I know a countdown when I see one
Sure as fire burns and cool water runs
A word of warning, better get prepared
Hold tight, we’re already there

There’s a warm wind blowing these flames so high
Smoke’s getting thicker between you and I
I know it’s happening ’cause I can’t see clear
Hold tight, we’re already there

Year after year the worse it gets
The consequence of short sighted bets
Hard to keep a bad habit hid for long
You only got what you got ’til it’s gone

Change is coming, I hope it lasts
For there’s no future immune from the past
So don’t wait, ’cause waiting’s too late to bear
Hold tight, we’re already there
