The pressure is rising
soon the system's failing on us
the growing profit's killing
all what's left of plain common sense
dying world
and the tunnel's getting darker yet
the one we're kicking on 
is already lying

As for me
well I see the shit 
but don't do a thing
except whine
and that's not really helping
I sit back
maybe have a cup of coffee and watch
how the grey
slowly turns black

Slow down the great acceleration now
the last candle is burning out

Fire will burn down 
all that's old and worn
On a holy day, yeah

The pressure is rising
soon the system's failing on us
There's no escaping it for you and me
dying world
but it's fighting back
not giving up
maybe there's time
to make a few things right
