This is the end, this is the last time
Take what you want, why wait a lifetime?
Why wait till tomorrow when you can just take it today
And it's not far away
Live all your life according to a plan
Live by the rules the best way you can
So the system that fed you and bred you can throw you away
And it's not far away
Not far away
Oh, oh
The system that fed you and bred you can throw you away
And it's not far away
Not far away
Not far away
Not far away
Oh, oh
The system that breeds[?] you and feeds you will through you away
And it's not far away
Not far away
Oh, oh
Total chaos, total destruction
(Not far away, not far away)
Social collapse, moral corruption
(Not far away, not far away)
I feel it in my bones, it gets closer each day
The future is here, and it won't go away
They're gonna segregate the people
They're gonna put you in your place
And no one's gonna listen when you try to plead your case
And those who think they are immune will get slapped in the face
Chaos will rule
No one will be safe
The ending is near
And it's not far away
The future is here and it's ours to dictate
The ending is closer so why hesitate
Oh, oh
The ending is near, and it's not far away
