Versions
The Warning
This is the original album version.
The Warning: Real World
This remix featuring African drummer Doudou N'Diaye Rose is on Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D. It starts with a piano melody that is joined by drum elements. The verse features the vocals over a drum beat accompanied by a droning synth. Oddly enough, the lyric "You piss it all away" was censored on this mix. The new synths and the drums create an even more foreboding atmosphere than what is heard in the Year Zero original. At the end a sound element similar to the guitar in the original is heard under the fading synths.

Lyrics
Some say it was a warning Some say it's a sign I was standing right there When it came down from the sky The way it spoke to us You felt it from inside Said it was up to us Up to us to decide "You've become a virus Killing off his host We been watching you with all of our eyes And what you seem to value most So much potential Or so we used to say Your greed, self-importance and your arrogance You piss it all away We heard her cry We have come to intervene You will change your ways and you will make amends Or we will wipe this place clean" Your time is ticking away
