Lyrics of Ticking Bomb by Aloe Blacc
chorus
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
So keep your calm, carry on
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
verse
The sun may never rise again
The question ain't 'if' but 'when'
The sea will boil and the sky will fall
The sun may never rise again
verse
The silent war has begun
We're staring down a loaded gun
No refuge found, no solid ground
This human race can't be won
pre-chorus
Don't wait to say goodbye
You're running out of time
Whatever you believe, it's easy to see
chorus
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
So keep your calm and carry on (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
hook
And it's about to explode
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
verse
The future is a dying art
Laying in a ditch in the dark
I need you here, but all I hear
Is the beating of a broken heart
pre-chorus
Don't wait to say goodbye
You're running out of time
Whatever you believe, it's easy to see
chorus
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
So keep your calm and carry on (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
hook
And it's about to explode
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
hook
And it's about to explode
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
chorus
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
And it don't care what side you're on (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb
outro
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
(The whole world)
So keep your calm and carry on (the whole world, the whole world)
The whole world's sitting on a ticking bomb (the whole world, the whole world)
