| Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked | 
| Forgive me if I smile badly | 
| It’s only that I’ve run off the track | 
| Derailed by the irony | 
| Forgive me if my laughter sounds cracked | 
| Forgive me if I smile badly | 
| It’s only that I’ve run off the track | 
| Derailed by the irony | 
| Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming | 
| On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming | 
| Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming | 
| On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming | 
| They warn of Armageddon, they warn us of apocalypse | 
| The future’s as a fool’s invention | 
| Of choking skies and computer chips | 
| (There's a nightmare) civilization | 
| (There's a monster) industry | 
| Four horsemen have already arrived | 
| I see them above us, already here | 
| Four horsemen with hooves like knives | 
| I say again, already here | 
| (There's a nightmare) civilization | 
| (There's a monster) industry | 
| (There's a devil) human corruption | 
| (There's a vampire) human greed | 
| Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming | 
| On presidential roofs listen to the sinister drumming | 
| Can you hear the hooves, can you hear the riders coming | 
| On presidential roofs hear the sinister drumming | 
| (There's a nightmare) civilization | 
| (There's a monster) industry | 
| (There's a devil) human corruption | 
| (There's a vampire) human greed |
