[Verse 1]
D A
I hear it in your silence, when you don't speak.
A7 D
What was funny then, isn't funny anymore.
G D
I can hear it in your voice, there's always a catch.
A D A
Where going nowhere, and we are going there fast.
D A A7
Anything to watch while we are waiting for this Apocalypse
D
What more is there to do?
G D
It's nice to be important, but so close to being despised.
A D A
It's more important to be nice, I guess, than being wise.
The rest of the song's chorus' play like this.

I hear it in your silence when you don't speak
Well, what's funny then isn't funny anymore
I can hear it in your voice, there's always a catch
We're going nowhere, and we're going there fast
Anything to watch while we are waiting
For this apocalypse, what more is there to do?
It's nice to be important, but so close to being despised
It's more important to be nice, I guess than being wise
I'll take you shopping, I'll take you dancing too
I'll take you out, all the things you wanna do
And I'll give you diamonds, and I'll give you space
So be with anyone you want, it's alright with me
Our time is over
Don't you know that if a time-warp was open
I'd stay right in my place?
That war is over
I hear it in your silence when you don't speak
And there is a quiet crying rage burning inside you so deep
I'll give you anything, but I'll give you problems
So be with anyone you want, it's alright with me
I hear it in your voice, can see it in your lips
There's always a catch, I guess that's alright with me
And no one's around, but the map says you're here
Now I can hear loneliness screaming in my ear
Our time is over
Don't you know that if a time-warp was open
I'd stay right in my place?
The war ain't over yet, no
This war ain't over yet
Being nice is only hard when others aren't
Our time is over
