There comes a time
When every settlement is due
No compromise
No other point of view
There comes a time
When no one ever takes the blame
No sentiment
Whoever's in the frame
Strapped down in a cold town
Dying to pay the rent
What the masterminds are selling you
Is Heaven Scent
Ring around the rules
We're nobody's fools
There comes a time
When consultation is a lie
No double deals
No more humble pie
There comes a time
When retribution is the key
No change of mind
Whatever is will be
Chaos in the system
Makes the stomach churn
What the charlatans are selling you
Is Crash & Burn
Ring around the rules
We're nobody's fools
Did you get a summons
When the doorbell rang?
What the autocrats are selling you
Is Sturm und Drang
Ring around the rules
We're nobody's fools
