“Time Is Ticking Out” was the second single from their fifth studio album, Wake Up and Smell the Coffee, released in 2001.
The song deals with environmental issues. A promotional video, directed by Maurice Linnane, features the band members as modern-life The Wizard of Oz characters.
We better think about the things we say
We better think about the games we play
The world went round, yeah, around and round
We better think about the consequences
We better think about the global census
If time went down, yeah, if time went down
What about Chernobyl?
What about radiation?
We don't know, we don't know
What about deprivation
Gluttony, the human nation?
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all
For me love is all
For me love is all
For me love is all
Time is ticking out...
Looks like we've screwed up the ozone layer
I wonder if the politicians care
The dime went down, yeah, if time went down
What about our children then
Is there nothing left for them?
We don't know, we don't know
For me love is all
For me love is all
For me love is all
For me love is all
Ah ah ah I need the oxygen
La-la-la-la ah ah I need the oxygen
For me love is all
For me love is all
Time is ticking out, yeah, time is ticking out
Time Is Ticking Out was written by Noel Hogan & Dolores O’Riordan.
