Lyrics for The Writing on the Wall

Don't tell us this is normal Don't tell us there's no change So selfish and immoral You're to blame Cause you're the greatest rotter Still crossing out of line Now tell me who will suffer For all your crimes? We are running out of time Out of time And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin Ignore the truth and follow Reap all that you sow Spawn the future sorrow We will know Refusing every warning Deny the rate of change The ignorance is swarming What a shame Then you know that you're to blame You're to blame And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all Throwing lies to the wind And the writing's on the wall So I say it again Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin You're the one to blame For this rate of change No tomorrow When will you see? And the writing's on the wall That the end will begin Still you do nothing at all Throwing lies to the wind And the writing's on the wall So I say it again Still you do nothing at all And keep denying the greatest sin The greatest sin Deny it again When will it end?
