This is only a test of the Emergency Broadcast System

this is a product of hysterical mass confusion

a ship of fools adrift on the wings of our pollution

rudderless and powerless in the sea of our delusion.



(repeat)



And we're all alone, hoping one day soon someone will save us from ourselves

secretly knowing that, as far as we can tell

the world has a hungry parasite that's called the human race

and we're powerless to stop it; we're resigned to our own fate

and no one cares, and no one cares.



This is only a test of the Emergency Broadcast System

this is a result of our own reckless ambition

the castles we have built have all become our prisons

trapped by our arrogance and the weight of our indifference.



And we're all alone, hoping one day soon someone will save us from ourselves

secretly knowing that, as far as we can tell

the world has a hungry parasite that's called the human race

and we're powerless to stop it; we're resigned to our own fate

and no one cares, and no one cares.



This is only a test of the Emergency Broadcast System

this is a product of hysterical mass confusion

a ship of fools adrift on the wings of our pollution

rudderless and powerless in the sea of our delusion.
