Everyday Heroes (The Doomsday Clock)

The tick-tock of the Doomsday clock
Midnight mocks, taunts the laughing stock
From fear & rage, this new nuclear age
The closing chapter, the final page?
Forests shrink, poles melt, islands sink
Stop and think. Step back from the brink
Extremist calls, closing hearts, building walls
Have we sold our souls for selfish goals?

When you just can't cope
As the world counts down to zero
Some everyday hero
Some everyday hero brings hope

Fools provoke, bigger button jokes
Sad sick hoax? Tick-tock, "That's all folks!"
Mankind denies as one more species dies
A "wise man" decries, "Fake news and lies"
With blind eyes watching children die
Wells run dry. Drugs too dear to buy
Freedom of speech, for all those who agree
As hate breeds terror. Love sets us free

When you just can't cope
As the world counts down to zero
Some everyday hero
Some everyday hero brings hope

Whilst leaders play God and sharpen their knives
Playing politics with our planet, with our lives
Our everyday heroes bring hope
Show glimpses of sanity, selfless humanity, for those who can't cope
Our everyday heroes bring hope

When you just can't cope
As the world counts down to zero
Some everyday hero
Some everyday hero brings hope

When you just can't cope
As the world counts down to zero
Some everyday hero
Some everyday hero brings hope

Everyday hero
Everyday hero
Everyday hero
Some everyday hero brings hope
