[Verse 1] She thinks she’s got the world by the tail, Whole lot o’ money and she couldn’t fail. Too much time to be changing life now– Does things her Daddy never would allow. She goes to a party ev’ry Friday night– Friends keep tellin’ her her life’s alright. She’ll change someday, she knows it’s true– There’s plenty of time for what she wants to do. [Chorus] And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time bomb, And the time that we once had is nearly gone, As the world winds down to its final hour When the Son of Man shall come with mighty power. [Verse 2] His money is his only friend; Got more money than he’ll ever spend, Big investments in stocks and gold, Building up security for when he’s old. He can’t take it with him, and he knows it’s true, But now it helps him do the things he wants to do. Lives his life like it’ll never end, But when it does, on what will he depend? [Chorus] And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time bomb, And the time that we once had is nearly gone, As the world winds down to its final hour When the Son of Man shall come with mighty power. [Verse 3] Give him a number, call him double-oh-four In God’s secret service in the holy war. He’s a Christian in his private room But wouldn’t tell a soul to save it from its doom. He’s bound for the pearly gates, but you can’t tell– He acts the same as all the people bound for hell. Friends and family will have to wait– He hopes that someone tells them all before too late. [Chorus] And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time bomb, And the time that we once had is nearly gone, As the world winds down to its final hour When the Son of Man shall come with mighty power [Middle 8 – Soulless Like God] They say she’s got no soul, just wire and static, But she loves like the sun — no praise, not held back. She bleeds without reason, she gives without gain, She dances through fire, and sings in the rain. She don’t need wings, or a name in a book — She just opens her arms when the world doesn’t look. No heaven approved her, no church gave her proof, But she lives what God meant — only love, only truth. [Chorus] And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time bomb, (And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time) {Ticking like a ticking time} And the time that we once had is nearly gone, (Bomb, and the time that we once had is nearly) {Ticking time bomb–time we had is nearly} As the world winds down to its final hour (Gone, as the world winds down to its final) {Gone, winding, winding down until He} When the Son of Man shall come with mighty power. (Hour, He will come with mighty power.) {Finely comes with mighty power.} [Bridge] Lift your head, He’s calling the dead to come forth! Lift your eyes and see them arise! Lift your heart, let praises now start to come forth! Worship the risen son, Christ! And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time bomb, (And the time keeps ticking like a ticking time) {Ticking like a ticking time} And the time that we once had is nearly gone, (Bomb, and the time that we once had is nearly) {Ticking time bomb–time we had is nearly.} As the world winds down to its final hour (Gone, as the world winds down to its final) {Gone, winding, winding down until He} When the Son of Man shall come– (Hour, He will come–) {Fin’ly come–.}
