[Lyric] The Fuses Have Been Lit (Pop Will Eat Itself)

[Verse 1]
I watch the skies, come in disguise
Got to take more pills (keep the lid on my life)
I got a little blue tube to give me my views
Of a world in discord (my mind's unmoved)
My nightmare scene's on TV screens
Data uncertain (information still being received!)
No deposit, no return
No deposit, no return
Win a trip to Mars, you can glow in the dark
And it's the age of the plane (I'm gonna go by car)
Run the red light, cower in the flashlight
No time's enough to hide from the half-life
Fly sky high with my ghetto blaster
Tune in, turn on, to the latest disaster
It's the land of do-as-you-please, and I'm king
(I gotta get me some, I gotta get me some)

[Hook]
This is the day and this is the hour
We need a power
This is this, this ain't something else
The fuses have been lit
This is the day and this is the hour
We need a power
This is this, this ain't something else
The fuses have been lit
[Verse 2]
Here come the dreams (that are split at the seams)
Better sew the sides, better get them dry-cleaned
Clears your head, clears your throat
(Buy now, pay later!) It's the sensible vote
Not built to last, but built to burn
(Contribute! Contribute!) Send all you earn
(No deposit, no return)
No deposit, no return
Health and happiness guaranteed
Free seven-day trial (It's all you need!)
Every hour on the hour
(This is the voice of fate) It's the voice of power
E104, E122 (E127) E142
Here's to the king (of the 1990s)
Give me everything, give me everything

[Hook]
The fuses have been lit

[Outro]
Big is back!
Because bigger is better!
An American tradition!
This... is this!
