Smashing Pumpkins - Doomsday Clock Lyrics






Is everyone afraid?
Is everyone ashamed?
They're running towards their holes to find out
Apocalyptic means are lost among our dead
A message to our friends to get out
There's wages on this fear
Oh so clear
Depends on what you'll pay to hear

They're bound to kill us all in whitewashed halls
Their jackals lick their paws

Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
Not broken

I love life every day
In each and every way
Kafka would be proud, to find out
I'm certain of the end
It's the means that has me spooked
It takes an unknown truth to get out
I'm guessing I'm born free, silly me
I was meant to beg from my knees

Please don't stop it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop?
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop?

We gotta dig in
Gas masks on
Wait in the sunshine, all bug-eyed
If this is living?
Sakes alive!
Well then they can't win
No one survives

Is everyone afraid?
You should be ashamed
Apocalyptic screams mean nothing to the dead
Kissing that 'ol sun to know all there is
Come on, last call
You should want it all

Ah, it's lonely at the top
These lonely days when will they ever stop
This doomsday clock ticking in my heart
These lonely days when will they ever stop
This ticking in my heart
Is everyone afraid?

  5. R.... K....

    See like, I'm not the kind of fan that hates Zeitgeist because It was just billy and jimmy, there's some amazing songs on the album, when it's good it's excellent but when it's bad it's REALLY bad. But I think the good out weighs the bad. One thing I love about the album is Jimmys drumming, that album has some of Jimmy's (and all drummers' cause jimmy is the best drummer ever period) best performances, it's kinda crazy.

  6. R.... Z....

    Tom Clancy End War

  50. R.... K....

    Should be Watchmen soundtrack

    R.... K....

    2 years too early

    R.... K....

    To be fair, they did have The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning playing for one of the trailers of Watchmen.

  54. L.... B....

    This work was my favorite Smashing Pumpkins album

  55. A.... y....

    I never knew of this album wtf, I also never knew this was in Transformers.

  56. E.... V....

    "I'll drive,You shoot!"

  57. 0.... A....

    Reading about the doomsday clock brought me here.

  58. A.... B....

    The message to my friends _)

  59. p.... v....

    People need to give this album another spin. Easily their best since Mellon Collie. Yes I said it. There are some gems on the others but it's hit and miss. Ava Adore only had a drummer for one song, Machina had a couple of highlights but not consistently and everything else is just Billy self indulging and putting out a good song here and there. Where's the epic album we know Billy and Jimmy are capable of. This one came close and contrary to what others say I think this album was mixed pretty well.

    p.... v....

    yes LOVE LOVE LOVE BILLY HE IS A TRUE ARTIST :)XXOO

  60. J.... ....

    Wicked opening track

  61. T.... 1....

    That snare is like st anger

  62. A.... S....

    Great song, but the mixing could use some work. The vocals are too high in the mix & the guitar gets buried under the bass. Still, great song

    A.... S....

    Anthony Sclafani agreed! The mix keeps this from being an all-time classic track.

    A.... S....

    100%. I’m spending half the track playing with the fit of my headphones! Reminds me of QOTSA songs for the deaf. Crazy compression.

  63. M.... ....

    57 DOOMSDAY COCKS

  64. c.... ....

    I think after finally hearing Oceania, if those vocals were on this album, it would be awesome.

  65. D.... ....

    Еее боиииии

  66. N.... K....

    2 minutes.

  67. D.... ....

    Mad this album isn't on Spotify. Like my favorite song by them.

  68. L.... ....

    transformers brought me here obvs

  69. S.... K....

    Quite possibly the best Pumpkins album.

  70. L.... ....

    GTA V doomsday heist DLC coming out tomorrow

    L.... ....

    this should've been the theme song for it

    L.... ....

    No one cares. GTA online is a game controlled by Jews.

    L.... ....

    DickPays no one cares I’m just saying since it’s doomsday heist this should’ve been the song for the trailer

    L.... ....

    @DickPays Fucking hell dude

  71. I.... J....

    I don't care what people say, this is an excellent song. Zeitgeist was a decent album, not their best, but this song is one of the heaviest and best imo.

  72. L.... ....

    time flies on so quickly

  73. L.... ....

    happy 10 year anniversary transformers/bay-formers

  74. L.... ....

    transformers brought me here

  75. A.... K....

    ''That'll be Jeremy then..''

  76. N.... C....

    that efffing intro tho. dope af

  77. L.... E....

    I stumbled upon this song.

  78. m.... ....

    go watch The Jonathan Kleck ON YOUTUBE about this album cover and the nuclear bomb and tsunami coming to NY! MIND BLOWING STUFF!!

  79. S.... G....

    This is the only decent song from Pumpkins that's after Machina. Everything else hasn't really impressed me.

  80. h.... l....

    i'l drive you shoot

  81. E.... V....

    BUMBLEBEE VS BRAWL

  82. R.... C....

    TRANSFORMERS

  83. C.... D....

    I'd pay to see this in a Far Cry 2, 3 and 4 montage; with never-ending cuts of action.

    Just nothing but explosions, fight sequences and multiplayer action to Doomsday Clock. Just think about it.

  84. K.... F....

    Some of Jimmy Chamberlin's best drumming.

  85. f.... c....

    i love this SONG.

  86. Y.... ....

    Damm boi that snare

  87. A.... T....

    Transformers brought me here. Roll out!

  88. D.... 6....

    idk why but who agrees this song brings early 2000s nostalgia

    D.... 6....

    i know right i miss 2007

    D.... 6....

    I wouldn't call 2007 'early 2000s' but sure I see what you were going for.

    D.... 6....

    This is from the late 2000s but whatever

  89. H.... ....

    billy called the shit we are in now. the doomsday clock is so close to midnight (if you dont know what that means, i pity you and am envious of your ingorance)

  90. C.... E....

    This song fits very well with the movie as above so below

  91. T.... S....

    Statue of Liberty is on her period?

    T.... S....

    best comment of all time I literally cannot stop laughing ;)

    T.... S....

    Covered in Water from a strike on New York City.

  92. S.... H....

    any one know why this album got removed from spotify it's not there now more

    S.... H....

    Pulled along with any other Corgan productions released on Warner Brothers...likely a royalties dispute between BC and WB.

    S.... H....

    why does it deal with BC & WB

  93. T.... ....

    Today I was like, "If I become president this would play at my victory party...wait..."

  94. j.... l....

    two and a half minutes to midnight, as of jan 2017

  95. M.... P....

    92.5 Omaha Nebraska

  96. D.... S....

    Awesome song, the mixing sucks though.

  97. L.... K....

    I'm here because of Trump...

    L.... K....

    Liam Ryan there is actually something called the doomsday clock you can find its article on wikipedia and why it is connected with trump

    L.... K....

    No idea how Trump brought you here.
    IMO, This would fit Hillary a lot better if she was president.

    L.... K....

    yuo know LOL. The Doomsday Clock has been around long before Donald Trump, dude.

    L.... K....

    TRUMP WALL>>>>>>>SYRIA LOL

    L.... K....

    Also it's funny because of that conspiracy theory of the Aliens on this April 18th. The Next Couple of weeks are going to Be Freaking fun LoL

  98. J.... F....

    .... and #ThankYouTrump what the hell have Trump voters gotten us into?

    J.... F....

    John Franklin The better person for President. Hillary would've been a lot worse.
    You would be surprised at what Trump is getting done. But I don't wanna get into a huge argument over an old comment.
