The Warning — Nine Inch Nails

Some say it was a warning Some say it was a sign I was standing right there When it came down from the sky They were expecting us We felt it from inside Said it was up to us Up to us to decide

You've become a virus That's eaten up its host We've been watching you with all our eyes And what you seem to value most So much potential, or so we used to say Your greed, self-importance, and your arrogance You pissed it all away

We heard a cry We've come to intervene You will change your ways and you will make amends Or we will wipe this place clean

Your time is tick-tick-ticking away
