lyrics

time has snapped our heads in place
hurried up and shot in the face
clock hands slower moving
now there's nothing doing
play the waiting game
or speed the process up yourself

get out or stay in
it's the times we are in
show up and change
or watch things stay the same

re-imagined life as a morality play
makes a fella wonder why we put up with each day
is that body moving?
oh, there's nothing doing
have a say in it all
but they always keep the same cogs turning

I don't wanna hear you say
at least you're turning the gears, no way
united we are stronger
divided it lasts longer

it's only strengthening in both directions
and you don't wanna know what's at the intersection
no professional would issue those corrections
do you stay in bed or join the insurrection?
