  • We are the leaders and the preachers
    Teaching you what is right from wrong
    And even if a hint of nonsense
    Has made us clearly conscious
    We'll be the first ones to act
    Be the first ones to act in

    Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

    Oh oh oh - look at what
    We've all tried not to become:
    Another fabricated self-portrait
    Oh oh no - take another glance
    And remember we're the ones
    Setting you up to take our fall

    You are the so-called weak and reckless
    Waiting for the next big explosion
    No matter if it's wrong or right
    If we let you have this
    You'll be the first to destroy
    Be the first to destroy it

    Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

    Oh oh oh - look at what
    We've all tried not to become:
    Another fabricated self-portrait
    Oh oh no - take another glance
    And remember we're the ones
    Setting you up to take our fall

    The simple ways we roll our eyes
    Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
    You know you need this

    The simple ways we roll our eyes
    Are exactly how we disguise our secrets
    You know you need this

    Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the
    Tick-tock on the clock and a knock at the

    Oh oh oh - look at what
    We've all tried not to become:
    Another fabricated self-portrait
    Oh oh no - take another glance
    And remember we're the ones
    Setting you up to take our fall Publisher: CONCORD MUSIC PUBLISHING LLC
