Tell tell me the reasons why
Tell me every secret you've been told
'Cause everybody knows they're dangerous
Hey let me try that wonder stuff
The stuff that lets you look at them and nod
Smile and say thank God it wasn't us

When it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll still be sitting here
Waiting 'til the big push comes

Now the moment we've been waiting for
The moment that you'll finally realise
Your promises are lies
They turn to dust
Time time changes everything
Can turn you from a hero to a dog
Living in a fog like the rest of us

When it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
Wait until the big push comes

Write write me a pretty poem
Make believe that paradise is here
Future's coming clear
Sun through the clouds

And when it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll still be sitting here
Waiting 'til the big push comes
And when it all goes to pieces
And it won't be long
Once you've had your fun
We'll all just sit around
And wait until the big push comes
