Distant Thunder

Every morning I wake up

And I switch the TV on

I like to watch the world go by

From the safety of my home

News is looking bad today

Like it always seems to be

I can't believe I'm so unmoved

By the violence that I see

It's a fact of life

But I can't cry anymore

'Cos it happens all the time

I hear the sound of distant thunder

It's coming closer every day

Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground

It feels like the end's not far away

As we race towards the future

We're not learning from the past

In the minefields of excess

You can hear the devil laugh

He can see what's going on

'Cos he knows the signs so well

It won't be long before we meet

On the road that leads to hell

In the wink of an eye

A hundred years will pass

So there's no time left to lie

I hear the sound of distant thunder

It's coming closer every day

Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground

It feels like the end's not far away

In the wink of an eye

A hundred years will pass

So there's no time left to lie

I hear the sound of distant thunder

It's coming closer every day

Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground

Feels like the end's not far away

It feels like the end's not far away

I can hear the sound of distant thunder

It's coming closer every day

I can feel it, can you feel it, yeah

I can hear the sound, the sound of distant thunder

I can feel it, can you feel it

I can feel it, I can feel that thunder crashing down
