| Distant Thunder 
 Every morning I wake up
 And I switch the TV on
 I like to watch the world go by
 From the safety of my home
 News is looking bad today
 Like it always seems to be
 I can't believe I'm so unmoved
 By the violence that I see
 It's a fact of life
 But I can't cry anymore
 'Cos it happens all the time
 
 CHORUS
 
 I hear the sound of distant thunder
 It's coming closer every day
 Soon there'll be lightning crashing to the ground
 Feels like the end's not far away
 
 As we race towards the future
 We're not learning from the past
 From the minefields of excess
 You can hear the devil laugh
 He can see what's going on
 'Cos he knows the signs too well
 It won't be long before we meet
 On the road that leads to hell
 
 In the wink of an eye
 A hundred years will pass
 So there's no time left to lie
 
 CHORUS
 
 I hear the sound of distant thunder
 It's coming closer every day
 Soon there will be lightning crashing to the ground
 Feels like the end's not far away
