A.Rob & B.Wilks - TIME BOMB

He really was a good man deep down cared about the people he had
Got a little spot in the big Apple he wasn't doing too bad
Living with his lady been together bout maybe three years and a half
Everything was going great until the great turned good and then the good turned bad
Only thing they could agree about, is we gone find a way to make this right
But every time they tried it seemed a sweet word turned into a fight
He told her he loved her and she told him she loved and they knew it was true
But in their chest they had to confess there was only one thing they could do
They were livin' in a
A ticking time bomb, hour hand on the heart
Ticking time bomb, waiting til' we fall apart
He burned a mountain of trash for a pile of cash and a government seat
Told a lie on the news and tore a nation in two on live TV
Since he was a teen had a wild little scheme to obtain the crown
Now he got a little red button on his desk he can push and make the whole wide world burn down
Executive order, build a wall at the border, occupy a new land
Find whatever they have so we can bring it on back and go and and do it again
A worldwide rues with a short lit fuse and a messed up mind
The people say, "You'll get us killed any day now it's just a matter of time"
He was nothing but a
A ticking time bomb, hour hand on the heart
Ticking time bomb, waiting til' we fall apart
A ticking time bomb, counting to the last breath
Ticking time bomb, how long do we got left
It's a matter of time
All a matter of time
Just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
All a matter of time
Just a matter of time
His father was blue and his mother was too but his lover was green
Picked to fight in the war sent them both out the door for the opposite team
They said they don't wanna but they told them they gotta, didn't give them a choice
Gave them weapons to kill and an everyday meal but didn't give em' a voice
So the bad fought good and the good fought bad and they were neither to blame
Man killin' man both found it hard to understand they were all the same
They murder for power and the murder for land and they murder for cash
Tryna rule the word and by the time they do it'll be nothing but a pile of ash
Only fighting for a
A ticking time bomb, hour hand on the heart
Ticking time bomb, waiting til' we fall apart
A ticking time bomb, counting to the last breath
Ticking time bomb, how long do we got left
It's a matter of time
All a matter of time
Just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
All a matter of time
Just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
All a matter of time
Just a matter of time
It's a matter of time
All a matter of time
Just a matter of time
