act now, time is running out   your value fell through, bottomed out   now you're sleeping on the ground   where you'll never come around   'til you find out what this record's all about      in my sheepskin once again it wears thin   hold my tongue like i'm dumb 'cause my thoughts are atom bombs   'cause i make it acid rain, swung and missed and won the game   then i'm home again, number one or two or ten      act now 'cause hell is coming   i try to hold the sun in the sky but i'm burning   still i've worked too hard to give up now      and i'm hell-bent, heaven-sent to stop you   in your tracks with my tracks, flip the switch and fade to black   when your melody unfolds and the harmonies are gold, i'm your minor key   i don't care, i don't care, i don't care      act now 'cause hell is coming   i try to hold the sun in the sky but i'm burning   still i've worked too hard to give up now   everyone's got reason enough   to rip right through what makes you you      every day i start again, wage a new war, maybe i'll win there's no time for love and to my best friend,   sorry if i never see you again, 'cause i am in hell   and i'll like it here if you will stay for year after year   my fiery lungs, the world that you hate   you looked in my heart, i spat in your face      act now 'cause hell is coming   i try to hold the sun in the sky but i'm burning   still i've worked too hard to give up now
