Now is the time To show that you care You were offered hope But you chose despair Well you won't know what hit you When it all comes down You will crawl through the rubble Of your one-horse town But beware the false prophet Who foretells of this doom Sitting smug and complacent In this mansion house room Well he poisoned the bride then ran off with the groom Now he travels by night 'neath a world weary moon He's a wandering minstrel
In a bodily cut suit Resplendent with afro And electric lute And he's speaking in riddles And he's speaking in tongues Whilst he plays through a fuzzbox To an audience of one And he's speaking in riddles And he's speaking in tongues But his words fall like snowflakes Which melt in the sun So now is the time To show that you care You were offered hope But you chose despair You were offered hope So why choose despair?
