Lyrics for A Perfect Storm
Forces from the sidelines Pushing for a race against time Tempting us deplete Only to face a certain defeat Hey now, it's not random If we're the ones to cause a storm It's a numbers game Ignoring all the combined tail end risks Gambling with our common fate To quench the thirst of a few No time for the masses to be informed To have say, got to win the race Just win the race, a race to lose control Intentions don't matter much As the dominoes start to fall Hey now, it's not random When we're the ones to cause a storm Hey, it's not random If we rise, just to peak and fall Hey now, it's not random It's still within our own control Hey now, it's not random When we're the ones to unleash a perfect storm
