All this living in fear,
Ain't no living at all,
Don't matter how big,
Don't matter how small
If you don't listen,
You will not hear the call,
When will you learn to read,
The writing on the wall.

It's not about heaven, no,
It's not about hell,
It's about right now,
As time does tell,
Will it take the earth to burn,
When the sun does fall,
Before you learn to read
The writing on the wall.

When will you learn to read the writing on the wall
When will you learn to read the writing on the wall
Distrust, mistrust, unjust, disgust

No sea too deep,
No mountain too tall,
The harder they come,
The harder they fall, hmm, yeah
If you don't listen,
You will not hear the call,
No value on life,
No value at all.

When will you learn to read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall

Distrust, mistrust, unjust, disgust
