3 Minutes to Midnight

Mike Skinner, Manga Saint Hilare

Look at my watch again
I don't take in what time it is
3 minutes to midnight
On the Doomsday clock

Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
We're all still alive

Light your lighter
Light is a flickering blue in space
Third World War averted for now
Won't fight for the dream
Mourning the evil
I don't like morning people
Morning or people
When I seek the truth
Choose the worst deduction
When I hit the booth
Mutually assured destruction

All we do is argue
West is weak
All we do is argue
Feel blessed that wе can
I look at my watch again
I don't take in what time it is
3 minutes to midnight
On thе Doomsday clock

Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
We're all still alive

Imagine looking down
From the stars in heaven
At the grass blue and brown
Armageddon
International poker
Texas better hold us
How long have we been in the casino
There's a reason there's no windows
Is it day or night?
Machines play on light
Lonely people in line to play chess, mate
Only speak when it's time to say check, mate

Look at my watch again
I don't take in what time it is
3 minutes to midnight
On the Doomsday clock
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
We're all still alive

Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
We're all still alive

We all know the exit
Bare ways in
There's only one way out
And the walls are crumbling inwards
And that's why we're out
I heard there is a date
There is a date when they're going to push the button
Just like take me out
If they're gonna dun our dance
Then let's dance skanking on the way out
Don't look now but the world's ending
I've clocked it, I'm watching the hands moving
We invaded and we had them all moving
The news ain't new, we're all just tuned in
We've navigated a warzone way before you did
The music is loud, is loud
I'm starting to see how we couldn't of talked through this
Our time's nearly up, it's about to heat up
Riddim ah guh get beat up
I'm still alive, can't kill me bruv
Look at the corner, it's getting political
Bare crooks hanging around a speaker
We can sit here pointing our gun fingers
But really, what have you done?
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
We're all still alive

Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
Hold up your lighter
We're all still alive

Look at my watch again
I don't take in what time it is
3 minutes to midnight
On the Doomsday clock

Darkness broods the night
Where is the good guy?
Everyone's the good guy
Won't fight for the dream
Mourning the evil
I don't like morning people
Morning or people

When I seek the truth
Choose the worst deduction
When I hit the booth
Mutually assured destruction
