Lyrics – Guerilla Tactics
This is the sound of the future calling
Breaking news on the hour everyday
This is the sound of tomorrow now
The revolution will be broadcast wherever you are
Wherever you stand
This is the sound of, the sound of the alarm calling
The sound of the four minute warning
The sound of the alarm calling
Calling to the outside
Too much broken information
Tomorrow has got to be cancelled just because
Senses have all been overloaded
There’s only so much death and destruction a man can take
Twenty four seven three sixty five
This is the sound of, the sound of the alarm calling
The sound of the four minute warning
The sound of the alarm calling
Calling to the outside
This is the sound of, the sound of the alarm calling
The sound of the four minute warning
The sound of the alarm calling
The sound of the alarm is calling
Calling Calling Calling Calling Calling
Calling Calling Calling Calling Calling
Calling Calling Calling Calling Calling
