Time Is Running Out - Muse

Every day there's something new that's going around Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town Business men they shake their heads and then they frown Everybody tries so hard to put them down It seems to me that maybe they got something going And if you don't make an effort, then you got no way to know Time is running out Woman, can you hear me clear? I hope that you can Before you go to sleep at night Take care of your man And if you want a love that will always be around forever Then you finally get it, ah, but you ain't gonna have it together Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Johnny drives a Thunderbird, he's in a big rage Always being criticized for being his age In his nose a safety pin and life's a razor blade He's so sick of everything that's been made It seems to me that maybe he's got bad frustration And all we can do is try and give the right information Oh, 'cause time is running out Population on the move So don't you delay Get yourself right in the groove 'N' hear what I say It's no good being lazy You've got to get up on your feet and shout 'Cause it'll make you crazy When you realise you've been left out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out In the future there's no room People standing on your toes Mother nature's on the run Everybody's got a gun Soldiers walking in the street Giving off a lot of heat There just ain't enough to eat If you're poor, you've got no meat Advertising in the sky They like to stick it in your eye So mad it will make you cry All the things that you don't need Trouble in the family (Said, separation and the Sea) There is no more unity (Remind me what it used to be) Complications everywhere (It seems to me it has to be) [?] people stare (You know it's true and) Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Television in my home (People watching every day) Someone's talking on the phone (I can't hear a word I say) There's no time to be alone (There's no time to get away) Wonder why your mind is blown (Nervous breakdown every day) Take me where the air is clean To the country, fresh and green I just cannot stand this pace Sorry, but there's no such place Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out...

Run faster while you can They're gonna hunt you, got a taste for blood You can hide your head in the sand They're gonna find you when you're slippin' up Run while you can Fast as you can They will find you in the end Your time is running out, out, out It's running out, out, out You thought you could run from hell Where you gonna run to now? Oh, your time is running out Can you hear the call of the sirens? Unlike you've heard before You never thought they'd come Better be ready 'cause they bring a war Run while you can Fast as you can They will find you in the end Your time is running out, out, out It's running out, out, out You thought you could run from hell Where you gonna run to now? Oh, your time is running out You're gonna get what you deserve You're watching the clock tick forward You're crossing the bridge, now watch it burn Your time is running out Your time is running out Your time is running out

I was searching You were on a mission And our hearts combined like A neutron star collision I have nothing left to lose You took your time to choose Then we told each other With no trace of fear that Our love Would be forever And if we die We die together And lie I said never 'Cause our love Would be forever The world is broken And halos fail to glisten You try to make a difference but No one wants to listen Hail the preachers Fake and proud Their doctrines will be cloud Then they'll dissipate Like snowflakes in an ocean Love Is forever And we'll die We'll die together And lie I said never 'Cause our love Could be forever Now, I've got nothing left to lose You take your time to choose I can tell you now Without a trace of fear That my love Will be forever And we'll die We'll die together Lie I will never 'Cause our love Will be forever

You (you, you) were my oppressor And I, (I, I) I have been programmed to obey But now (now, now) you are my handler And I, (I, I) I will execute your demands Leave me alone I must disassociate from you Behold (hold, hold) my trance formation And you (you, you) are empowered to do as you please My mind (mind, mind) was lost in translation And my heart (heart, heart) has become a cold and impassive machine Leave me alone I must disassociate from you, yeah, yeah I won't let you control my feelings anymore And I will no longer do as I am told And I am no longer afraid to walk alone Let me go, let me be I am escaping from your grip You will never own me again, yeah, yeah

You were never truly loved You have only been betrayed You were never truly nurtured By churches of the state You were left unprotected To these wild and fragile lands But you can rise up like a God Arm yourself, you can be strong You can build a nuclear power Transform the earth to your desire Free your mind from false beliefs You can be the commander in chief You can hide your true motives To dismantle and destroy Now you finally have the code I have given you the code Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Fire!) There's no country left To love and cherish It's gone, it's gone for good It's you and me, babe, survivors To hunt and gather memories Of the great nation we were There're no countries left To fight and conquer I think I destroyed them all It's human nature, the greatest hunter will Survive alone with no one left to love Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah There's no culture left To love and cherish It's gone, you know it's gone for good A trillion memories lost in space and time Forevermore I just wanted, I just needed to be loved

I have lived in darkness For all my life, I've been pursued You'd be afraid if you could feel my pain And if you could see the things I am able to see Break me out, break me out Let me flee Break me out, break me out Set me free I hail from the dark side For all my life, I've been besieged You'd be scared, living with my despair And if you could feel the things I am able to feel Break me out, break me out Let me flee Break me out, break me out Set me free Break me out, break me out Let me flee Break me out, break me out Set me free Save me from the dark side Break me out, break me out Set me free

They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No chance for fate It's unnatural selection I want the truth I'm hungry for some unrest I wanna push it beyond a peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand Dedication to a new age Is this the end of destruction and rampage? Another chance to erase then repeat it again Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean Ocean They'll laugh as they watch us fall The lucky don't care at all No (hey) Chance (hey) For fate (hey) It's unnatural selection I want the truth No religion or mind virus Is there a hope that the facts would ever find us? Just make sure that you are looking out for number one I'm hungry for some unrest Well, let's push it beyond a peaceful protest I wanna speak in a language that you will understand Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean Ocean They'll laugh as they watch us crawl The lucky don't share at all No (hey) Hope (hey) For fate (hey) It's a random chance selection I want the truth Try to ride out the storm Whilst they'll make you believe They are the special ones (We have not been chosen) Injustice is the norm You won't be the first And you know that you won't be the last Counter balance this commotion We're not droplets in the ocean Ocean, ocean, ocean They'll laugh as they watch us fall And the lucky, they don't care at all No (hey) Chance (hey) For fate (hey) It's unnatural selection I want the truth I want the truth I want the truth I want the truth
