We are...
The leaders and the preachers
Teaching you...
What is right from wrong, and
Even if a hint of nonsense
Has made us clearly conscious,
We'll be the first ones to act,
Be the first ones to act in

Tick, tock, on the clock
And a knock at the...

Oh, oh, oh
Look at all that we've all tried not
To become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no
Take another glance and remember
We're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall

You are...
The so-called weak and reckless
Waiting for...
The next big explosion
No matter if it's wrong or right
If we let you have this you'll
Be the first to destroy,
Be the first to destroy it

Tick, tock, on the clock
And a knock at the...

Oh, oh, oh
Look at all that we've all tried not
To become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh, oh, no
Take another glance and remember
We're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
You know you need this

The simple ways we roll our eyes
Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
You know you need this

Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...
Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the...

Oh oh oh
Look at what we've all tried not to become
Another fabricated self-portrait
Oh oh no
Take another glance and remember we're the ones
Setting you up to take our fall.
