[Intro]
\nLook around…
\n(And around and around!)
\nAnybody home?
\n(Hello?)
\n… do you know?<\/p>\n
Anybody listening?
\n(Suggesting…)<\/p>\n
Anybody seein’ this?
\n(Seein’ what?)<\/p>\n
Exactly…
\n(It’s time we see)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nThe warning light is flashing
\nBut nobody looks
\nThe pages keep on turning
\nBut nobody reads the books<\/p>\n
The smoke is in the distance
\nThe sirens start to sound
\nEverybody keeps on asking:
\n“What’s that noise?”
\n(As it’s all around!)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nEyes wide open
\n(Mind asleep)
\nStanding at the edge
\n(The water’s deep)<\/p>\n
Something’s happening
\nRight before our eyes
\nBut somehow everybody
\nSeems surprised<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIs it just me… or are all of us
\n(Oblivious)
\nI mean… get serious
\n(About the oblivious)<\/p>\n
… they’re dangerous
\n(To all of us!)
\nOblivious<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nThe scientist says, “Look!”
\n(We look away)
\nThe numbers say, “Now!”
\n(We say, “Some other day”)<\/p>\n
All in all declining
\nThe carbon think is weak
\nThe trouble keeps accumulating
\nWhile nobody wants to speak<\/p>\n
“Everything’s fine!”
\n(Everything?)<\/p>\n
Meanwhile the present
\nBecomes the future
\nOne day at a time<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIs it just me… or are all of us
\n(Oblivious)
\nI mean… get serious
\n(About the oblivious)<\/p>\n
… they’re dangerous
\n(To all of us!)
\nOblivious<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nOblivious…
\n(To the obvious)<\/p>\n
Are we?
\n(We are)
\n… oh how bizarre<\/p>\n
Could it be…
\n(Certainly)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nIs it just me… or are all of us
\n(Oblivious)
\nI mean… get serious
\n(About the oblivious)<\/p>\n
… they’re dangerous
\n(To all of us!)
\nOblivious<\/p>\n
Oblivious…
\n(To the obvious)<\/p>\n
[Break]
\nWake up!
\n(WAKE UP!)<\/p>\n
What?
\n(What’s up?)<\/p>\n
What’s happening?<\/p>\n
Right now!
\n(Pow and wow!)<\/p>\n
Right here!
\n(It’s clear!)<\/p>\n
Present tense!
\n(In intense!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nIs it just me… or are all of us
\n(Oblivious)
\nI mean… get serious
\n(About the oblivious)<\/p>\n
… they’re dangerous
\n(To all of us!)
\nOblivious<\/p>\n
… we’re dangerous
\n(To all of us!)
\nOblivious
\n(To the obvious)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nOblivious
\n(To the obvious)<\/p>\n
What’s that?
\n(What’s what?)<\/p>\n
That…
\n(That what?)<\/p>\n
Right there!<\/p>\n
[Pause]<\/p>\n
Unaware<\/p>\n
[Whisper]
\nOblivious
\n(To the obvious)<\/p>\n
