Clattering down the road in ridiculous shoes
Revving all those motors in impossible queues
Feel the time pressure pumping up and down
Its the virtual fuel in a stressed out town.

James Watt harnessed steam and freed the horse
The world speeded up and changed its course
Now the same steam makes a cup of caffeine
You have to adjust cause now the machine runs on time

When you borrow money, you find someone to lend it,
You’ve got to pay it back but at least you get to spend it.
on fast food, fast cars, well hello
When you’re on borrowed time, it’s time to go.
Bye bye

Time is in a hurry, it waits for no man.
What has happened to the timeless land.
Time is of the essence, but that’s all talk.
They say time flies. I’ll walk.

Traffic’s mindless. Jobs are insane.
Modern life will drive you out of your brain.
You’ve got to slow down, give yourself a break.
If you kill yourself, you’ve made a big mistake.

Clattering down the road in ridiculous shoes
Revving all those motors in impossible queues
Feel the time pressure pumping up and down
Its the virtual fuel in a stressed out town.
