The Overload from King Trouble by Don't mess with the Firemen 'cause you never know...

The Overload

All the seat is planted, but it won't grow
nothing here's for granted, oh I guess we know!
All the litter's burning in the streets below
it's the end of yearning so we're forced to...

The overload is coming
Can't you hear the mad man drumming

Hear the soldiers marching, dirty boots on wasted ground.
Some of us are starving, unseen death without a sound...
All my people going out, leaving all behind
Feels so right, no doubt, a better world we'll find.

The overload is coming
Can't you hear the mad man drumming

The boat is old and rotten, the ocean's cold and grey
Hope we're not forgotten and live another day
All the litter's burning in the streets below
it's the end of yearning so we're forced to...

The overload is coming....
Can't you hear the mad man drumming
