False Alarm lyrics

Yet once again

The call goes out

Unknown reason to us

To climb hastily aboard

In red, with flashing lights

On a single purpose

To extend and prolong lives,

Their properties preserving

To venture forth in an unknown quest

Perhaps in false pretense

Brought by selfish soul

A purpose perverted

For thrill and consequence

Years ago the chief was lost

By station's drive

To a false alarm

His life a traded treachery

This man benevolent, betrayed

Why then are we to be pawns

Of insurance and suit scams

And impatient, inconsiderate men

Who wish to dodge lobby's wait

Endangering all...

In needless display

Underminding a noble cause

So much so as to harden

The compassionate man

To a sinister cynic

Speaking only of 'us' and 'them'

Taking sides in competition

Do not let daily faulted ways

Of distracted driving

Find you in glaring lights

Without purpose, and unprepared

For men mount regrets

Of ventures mistaken

Often needlessly given

Needlessly borne

On a false alarm
