We think it's under our control At least that's what we've all been told We think it's under our control At least that's what we've all been told Under the surface nothing's ever what it seems Faster than light, they're spinning their wheels Destroys our lives, kills our dreams As the end is closing in We can't control it, no way to hold it It's spinning round and round Fires are burning, madness is turning The whole world upside down One step forward, ten steps back Is this what we need We gotta turn the power off Gotta stop the machine With magic tricks and fantasies They feed our mind with make believe If we deny the truth, if we refuse to see All will be lost and nobody wins Our last breath of hope, gone with the wind And the end is closing in We can't control it, no way to hold it It's spinning round and round Fires are burning, madness is turning The whole world upside down One step forward, ten steps back Is this what we need We gotta turn the power off Gotta stop the machine We can't control it, no way to hold it It's spinning round and round Fires are burning, madness is turning The whole world upside down One step forward, ten steps back Is this what we need We gotta turn the power off Gotta stop the machine We can't control it, no way to hold it It's spinning round and round Fires are burning, madness is turning The whole world upside down One step forward, ten steps back Is this what we need We gotta turn the power off Turn the power off Gotta stop the machine
