Everyday theres something new thats going around Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town Businessmen, they shake their heads and then they frown Everybody tries so hard to put them down
It seems to me that maybe they got something going And if you dont make an effort, then you got no way to know
Time is running out
Woman, can you hear me clear? I hope that you can Before you go to sleep at night, take care of your man And if you want a love that will always be around forever Then you finally get it, ah, or you aint gonna have it together
Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out
Johnny drives a thunderbird, hes in a big rage Always being criticized for being his age In his nose a safety pin and lifes a razor blade Hes so sick of everything thats been made
It seems to me that maybe hes got bad frustration And all we can do is try and give the right information
Oh, cause time is running out
Population on the move, so dont you delay Get yourself right in the groove and hear what I say Its no good being lazy, youve got to get up on your feet and shout Cause itll make you crazy when you realize youve been left out
Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out
In the future theres no room People standing on your toes Mother Natures on the run Everybodys got a gun
Soldiers walking in the street Giving off a lot of heat There just aint enough to eat If youre poor, youve got no meat
Advertising in the sky They like to stick it in your eye So mad it will make you cry All the things that you dont need
Trouble in the family (Said, "Separation and the [Incomprehensible]") There is no more unity (Remind me what it used to be) Complications everywhere (It seems to me it has to be) [Incomprehensible] people stare (You know its true and)
Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out
Television in my home (People watching every day) Someones talking on the phone (I cant hear a word I say) Theres no time to be alone (Theres no time to get away) Wonder why your mind is blown (Nervous breakdown every day)
Take me where the air is clean To the country, fresh and green I just cannot stand this pace Sorry, but theres no such place
Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out
