Sound the Alarm

Hey, sound the alarm kid
Hey, it's coming on quick

From the jump you were told
If you go build it up 'til it's so big
You're gonna find yourself on the top of the world
Like a new king

Hey kid, go and make it
You could be anything
You could buy up the moon
If you take it

Hey kid, go build it up
Make it fast, make it quick
And I know that you did what you did
Cause we all said you should
It's a dream, it's a dream, it's a dream
But now it's turned, and the fire surrounds

Hey, you got the matches
Don't you strike 'em to quick
Cause the air is filling up with gasses

Hey, I think you're dangerous
You got that look in your eye
Like you just want more and more

Hey, sound the alarm man
You know it's coming on
But you just keep buying
The Land, and The Sky, and The Sea, and The Fire
For you and a few friends
Living it up in the end of what it is
And whether you make it
Or whether you break it
You play both sides so you're always riding high

But when the river comes
What's left to call your own
Cause you're just passing by and through
Our mother's home

Hey kid, look I get it
They told you to jump, and you said "How high?"
Now it's the end and the dawn is a blue sky
Nowhere to turn so you're selling a new high

Don't want to end up just like this
