[Verse 1]
Oh clear water [G]- - tick[D]- tock, ticky- ticky- tock
A little bitter [G]but I ain't bothered
[D]Gonna keep mine stocked - - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
The gift of life in a [G]plastic [D]bottle
Fill my glass from the tap [G]like they asked,
and it tastes just fine
Safe for now, now it's just a matter [D]of time
[Dsus4][Dm][D][Dsus4][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Love my brother [D]- - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
Brown skin now you're
[G]bound to won[D]der
Gonna keep [Dm]my trust - [D]- tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
And not blink at the [G]sound of thun[D]der
A little [G]understanding and
kindness'll do the trick
Hope there ain't nothing, nothing that makes [D]him [Dm]tick

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Will they check [D]my pack - - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
What's a ball game [G]without your [D]flask
But the line's too long - - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
Gonna miss the lineups and
the [G]first at [D]bats
It's just a wait, play it safe [C]at the [G]gate,
'til they check you through
Hope they don't catch me but partly [Gm]I hope they [G]do[D]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Halloween [D]- - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
Ghosts and fairies in a [G]sugar rush dream
[D]But I just [Dm]can't stop [D]- - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
My mind's racing with this
[G]one damn [D]scene
Markin' blood on the door [C]posts at
[G]night and they hope it takes
But I hope Willy Wonka's guards they've been stayin' [D]awake

[D]CNN - - tick- tock, ticky-

[Verse 5]
ticky- tock
A target list guessin' [G]which one's [D]next
And a hun[Dm]dred [D]cops - - tick- tock,
ticky- ticky- tock
Intel and a [G]ten foot [D]fence
All's quiet on the front [C]but the front's
[G]just the last defense
You gotta know what they're
tryin' to blow
Oh, and you've got to know [D]. . . when
