Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Goes the ticking of the clock
While the world moves ever faster
Step by step toward the future
Is it progress or disaster
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Stand two separate blocs
Crisis or claim, tensions heighten
Authority and madness, grips tighten
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Weapons amassed in massive stock
The drums of war beat once more
Tanks and planes stand ready as their engines roar
With thunderous boots marching evermore
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Is there time for talk
As missiles and mortars sail
All the while people wail
Those that remain are deathly pale
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
Goes the ticking of the clock
Each tick to midnight a mock
Here stands the Doomsday Clock
Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock
While you may balk

At 100 seconds to midnight
Tick-Tock, Tick-…
