Dinosaur, wonders why it still walks the earth, yeah 
A meteor, promises it's not gonna hurt, yeah
Earth quakes always happen when you're in bed Fred 
The house shakes maybe it was something I said Ned 
…go easy on me, easy on me brother
…go easy on me, easy on me brother 
When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be 
Statues fall 
Democracy is flat on its back Jack 
We had it all 
And what we had is not coming back, Zac
A big mouth 
Says the people they don't want to be free for free
The Blackout 
Is this an extinction event we see?
Go easy on me, easy on me brother
Go easy on me, easy on me now
When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be 
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
Blackout
It's clear
Who you are will appear
Blackout 
No fear
So glad that we are all still here, 
Here!
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be 
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out
