Lyrics Nine Inch Nails – The Warning

Some say it was a warning
Some say it was a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky

You’ve become a virus
Killing off his host
We been watching you with all of our eyes
And what you seem to value most
«So much potential» or so we used to say
Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance
You piss it all away

We heard her cry
We’ve come to intervene
You will change your ways and you will make amends
Or we will wipe this place clean

Your time is tick-tick-ticking away …
