Now!
Now!
The writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen
It's an Omen
Now!
The writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen
You just run on automation
Now! Now!
Now!
The writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen
You just run on automation
Now!
The Writing's on the wall
It won't go away
It's an Omen

Now! Now! Now!
The lyrics of "Omen" by The Prodigy are fairly straightforward and repetitive, but they convey a sense of urgency that fits the driving beat of the song. The repeated phrase "It's an Omen" suggests that there is something ominous or foreboding happening, and that the singer is urging the listener to take action. The references to "automation" and running suggest that people may be going through the motions or reacting without conscious thought, and that there is a need for heightened awareness and attention to the signs around them.
The repetition of the phrase "Now! Now!" further emphasizes the sense of urgency and immediacy, as if the singer is trying to shake the listener out of their complacency and get them to pay attention. The line "the writing's on the wall" is an old phrase that means the evidence or signs are clear and undeniable, and that something is about to happen. In this song, it seems to suggest that there is an impending danger or crisis that the listener needs to be aware of.

Why would somebody want to become a member of this crappy channel?

NO, I don't like it when people LIE to me.

Maybe if you were to ACTUALLY SHOW INAPPROPRIATE PHOTOS, then I'd consider it...
@DogFlamingoXIII
I hate this kind of titling too. This is just a collection of historical images that were often in history books or magazines. Some were taken for media. This is right up there with those, "25 Things You Didn't Know About..." titles, where I get irritated, because you have no idea what I do and don't know. It could have just been named something like "25 Things You Might Not Have Known About...", and it would have been just as interesting and not irritating.

If only youtube has a haha react

If you came for the beautiful picture of a model wearing a Native American inspired costume, this might be the only photo not appropriate for a history book, it's so rare you won't find it in the whole video clip. It’s a picture of model Catherine McNeil from Vogue in 2008.

Yes, I was going to say that CLEARLY it's a modern photo. Thank you for the source.
@norlesh
I gave the above comment a thumbs up for the useful information; and balanced it out by giving the clip a thumbs down for the click-baiting.
@bearingcee
I did click for that photo, but not because I wanted to see a sexy Squaw, but wanted to see how fake the photo was. I'm Plains Apache, and I promise our mahies (my ease) (women) didn't dress like she in the pic.
