[Chorus 1]
Have you Emheard what they Csaid on the Gnews toDday
Have you Emheard what is Ccoming to us Gall?D  
That the Emworld as we Cknow it will be Gcoming to an Dend
Have you Amheard, have you Cheard?D  
[Verse 1]
EmHe sees them iGn the distance whCen the darkened cloGuds rollD  
EmHe could feel tGension in the CatmosphGereD  
EmHe would look Gin the mirror, sCee an old mGan noDw
EmDoes it mGatter if they surviCve someGhowD  
EmThey said there's nothiGng can be doCne about the sGituaDtion
EmThey said there's noGthing you can Cdo at aGllD  
EmTo sit and waGit around for soCmething to oGccurD  
Did you Amknow, did you knoCw?D  
EmAs he staGres across the gaCrden looking aGt the meadoDws
EmWonders iGf they'll ever grCow againG  D  
EmThe desperGation of the sCituation geGtting graveDr
EmGetting rGeady when the wiCld wind bloDws
[Chorus 1]
Have you Emseen what they Csaid on the Gnews toDday
Have you Emheard what they Csaid about us Gall?D  
Do you Emknow what is Chappening to just Gevery one of Dus
Have you Amheard, have you Cheard?D  
[Verse 2]
There will Embe a catCastrophe the lGike we've never sDeen
There will Embe something thCat will light the sGkyD  
That the wEmorld as we knCow it, it will nGever be the sDame
Did you Amknow, did you Cknow?D  
EmHe carries eGverything inCto the shelter nGot a fuDss
EmGetting rGeady when the momCent comDes
EmHe has enoGugh supplies to lCast them for a yGear or Dtwo
EmGood to hGave because you nCever knDow
EmThey tell us nGothing that we dCon't already knGow abouDt
EmThey tell us Gnothing that is rCeal at Dall
EmThey only fiGll us with the sCtuff that they wDant
Did you Amknow, did you Cknow?D  
EmHe's nearly fiGnished with the pCreparations fGor the Dday
EmHe's getting Gtired; that'll Cdo for Dnow
EmThey are prepaGring for the verCy worst to coGme to tDhem
EmGetting reGady when the wCild wind bDlows
[Bridge]
EmHe sees the picture on the wall, it's falling doCwn
Upside doGwn D  
EmHe sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her faCce,
Saying GrGaceD  
EmRemember times they had, they flash right through his miCnd
Left behGindD  
EmOf a lifetime spent together long aCgo
Will be goGneD  
[Verse 3]
EmThey've been preparing for some weeks now
EmFor when the crucial moment comes
EmTo take their refuge in the shelter
CLet them preDpare for what will coEmme
EmThey make a tea and sit there waiting
EmThey're in the shelter feeling snug
EmNot long to wait for absolution
CDon't make a fDuss; just sit and waEmit
[Chorus 2]
Can't belCieve all the lGying, all the scrDeens are denEmying
That the mComents of tGruth have beEmgun
Can't you Csee it on the TG.V.? Don't beliDeve them in the leEmast bit
Now the dCays of our Dending have bEmegun
[Verse 4]
EmSay a prayer when it's all over
EmSurvivors unite, all as one
EmGot to try and help each other
CGot the wDill to overcEmome
[Chorus 2]
I can't belCieve all the lGying, all the scrDeens are denEmying
That the mComents of tGruth have beEmgun
Can't you Csee it on the TG.V.? Don't beliDeve them in the leEmast bit
Now the dCays of our Dending have Embegun
[Outro]
EmWhen they fGound them, had their Carms wrapped arGound each otDher
EmTheir tins of poGison laying neCar by their cloDthes
EmThe day they boGth mistook an eaCrthquake for the fGalloDut,
EmJust anGother when the Cwild wind bDlows
