[Verse 1]
This is the last day of my life, yours too
Haven't you ever seen the ocean look so blue?
"And now we're running out of time", she said
All of the children are so anxious, they're on edge
Yeah, it's tense, so tense
[Chorus]
Moral panic is setting in
Terror fever, it's too late to begin
Your excuses are wearing thin
Moral panic, it's too late to begin
Moral panic is setting in
Terror fever, it's too late to begin
Your еxcuses are wearing thin
Moral panic, it's too latе to begin
[Verse 2]
This is the last day of my life, yours too
Better be ready 'cause it's coming to find you
Oh no, they don't call it a lie, it's post truth
And now the blackest sky is falling over you
And it's soon, so soon
[Chorus]
Moral panic is setting in
Terror fever, it's too late to begin
Your excuses are wearing thin
Moral panic, it's too late to begin
It's too late to begin
[Post-Chorus]
Now, the earth, it turns so slow
Strike up a match and we let it go
Now, the earth, it burns so slow
A million faces in a row
We're standing back and we watch it go
And we let it go
And we let it go
And we let it
[Chorus]
Moral panic is setting in
Terror fever, it's too late to begin
Your excuses are wearing thin
Moral panic, it's too late to begin
[Post-Chorus]
Now, the earth, it burns so slow
A million faces in a row
Standing back and we watch it go
And we let it go
And we let it
[Outro]
If we're on our own then we let it go
If we're on our own then we let it go
Information age is the modern joke
If we're on our own then we let it go
Moral Panic was written by Mike Crossey & Joe Langridge-Brown & Dom Craik & Conor Mason.
Moral Panic was produced by Dom Craik.
Nothing But Thieves released Moral Panic on Fri Oct 23 2020.
Joe Langridge-Brown:
This is a song about climate change; it was written at the time Extinction Rebellion was happening. I found the fact that it came from youth really interesting. The term ‘moral panic’ related to a lot of other stuff, but this song in particular was more about that.”

A twitter user asked the following:
How late into the making of the album did you write this and decide it was the title track? Or was it there from the start?
To which Joe Langridge-Brown replied:
The lyric came fairly early on (maybe a couple of months in) but Conor [Mason] pointed out that it...
Joe Langridge-Brown:
Extinction Rebellion and the fact that the battle against climate change was being taken up by so much of the youth
