Adam WarRock - ...Is About To Explode lyrics

[Adam WarRock] [Verse 1] I see the future and no it's not pretty Buildings turn to rubble in a flash of light The flesh decays and soon the city's nothing Just howls from the past; those who pa**ed on To the next ones, science keeps us Waitin' for the answer In the year of 2019 there's civil unrest Where gangs patrol the streets and the students resist Where the government's torn to pieces In the wake of the third world war and martial law Controls the people once more Where the press is muscle so we never know the truth Where the black ops military experiments Sit beneath the city; cryogenically frozen He had a name but now he's just collections Of memories and test patterns And we crawl the sewers hoping and wishing Waiting and praying that there's an answer And we load our guns k**ing and we fight for territory That's the life that we know When you live in neo-tokyo it's about to explode [Hook] X 16 It's about to explode It's about to explode [Verse 2] All I wanted was the open road A place to drink and friends who kept me honest Whoever; who would've been thinking That we'd live through armageddon twice But you only die once; I'm a send him I got his bike back to meet him Rest in peace Cause they told me I was a punk Who roamed the streets Just a no good gangster and I admit I made mistakes So I'ma fight until my last breath leaves I'll do it for him Cause he's my friend, I still gotta try and save him Yes, Tetsuo, think back on your memories Tetsuo, think of Neo-tokyo Tetsuo, think of all the good times and your memories Tetsuo, lean into the curbs like it's suicide Tetsuo In a dying city we can find a reason to live We can find love, we can find friendship We can find the universe, Tetsuo This is the end and the beginning Tetsuo is that you? Tetsuo And they whisper "Akira" beneath their breaths And I don't understand why they say it (Akira) And they whisper "Akira" beneath their breaths And I don't understand (Akira) [Hook] X 16 It's about to explode
