Lyrics
Time Bomb (10/9/25)
Intro Riff (4x)
CH Riff 4x with opening solo
V1
X The preacher man says there is too much sin
X Gambler knows that he's gonna win
X Politician make a promise
X Put the cost of freedom on us
This is how it begins.
(intro Riff 2x)
How it begins.
V2
X - Life is full of troublemakers
X - And bureaucrats just signing papers
Pre-CH
X - Down on the street they try to survive
X - Do what they can, with all this jive
CH
X It's a time bomb baby
X Lighting the fuse
X We're all going crazy
X We got nothing to lose
Got nothing to lose
(verse riff 2x with ride cymbal & solo)
V3
X - Listen closely to the deal
X - It's who you know, not how you feel
Pre-CH
X Down on the street, they gotta keep it real
CH
X It's a time bomb baby
X Lighting the fuse
X We're all going crazy
X We got nothing to lose
Bridge
X - Now this ain't right
X - It's a broken system
X - He saw the light
X - And it barely missed him (sirens)
Solo over Pre-CH with ride cymbal (Full = 2x)
Solo over CH (Full 4x)
V4
Paradise is getting closer
New messiah taking over
We need peace instead of anger
Understanding between strangers
Pre-CH
Down on the street, they cry for change
Working so hard, for it stay the same
Outro (CH Type) Riff with Outro Vox (Full = 8 lines)
X It's a time bomb baby
X Lighting the fuse
X All going crazy
X Nothing to lose
(Last 4 Doubletime)
X It's a time bomb baby
X Lighting the fuse
X All going crazy
X We got nuthin', nuthin', nuthin' to lose
