This Is Not An Exercise - Voïvod

Don’t adjust your Brain

It’s now, it’s real, real, real

Woken up by a lot of noise this morning

The day begins by the fear

I’m looking through the window at this outside

Something’s happening

Smashed up cars, fucked up traffic

People plunged in their TV set

Watch to see the daily bad news

Stand to know who’s gonna pay

Burning, destroying, pulverising

They can’t take the time to realise

Talking, screaming, protesting

All that time spent

Let’s start this bad surprise

But today is not like another day

Listen to the radio

Caution, all alert is on

They’re gonna blow your bones away

You know the human history

The street must be running red

The citizens can’t believe

That they’re all the victims

And this is it, you better watch it live

I wake you up, this is no an exercise!

Don’t adjust your Brain

It’s now, it’s real, real, real

You stand mute today

It’s all over, shaking the ground
