lyrics
We need all hands on deck
(but there isn't anybody that’ll step outside)
Before there's nothing left
(tick tock tick tock)
You may have tried your best
(Well your best ain't nothin til you've actually tried)
Doesn't mean you’re off the hook
It Don’t take much insight
(learn a lesson from the blind toss your specs to the side)
To know, two wrongs don’t make a right
(left right left right)
If it’s just fight or flight
(competition isn’t itchin to ask for a fight)
Better clip your wings today
time moves faster
Before and after
Excessive chatter
Keeps on blurring lines
We pretend we don’t see
(the future is uncertain you just close your eyes)
The past repeating endlessly
( tick tock tick tock)
Where the punk kids at with their anarchy
(the cookbook stolen were all livin a lie)
We could use their words to scream
Where have the poets gone
(they’re all dreaming of the book burning times)
With the bands rehashing the same old songs
(back, forth back, forth)
Where is the renaissance
(the teachers and the students are asleep on the job)
It was sold to the kids by kings
Cos time moves faster
Before and after
Excessive chatter
Keeps on blurring lines
(but there isn't anybody that’ll step outside)
Before there's nothing left
(tick tock tick tock)
You may have tried your best
(Well your best ain't nothin til you've actually tried)
Doesn't mean you’re off the hook
It Don’t take much insight
(learn a lesson from the blind toss your specs to the side)
To know, two wrongs don’t make a right
(left right left right)
If it’s just fight or flight
(competition isn’t itchin to ask for a fight)
Better clip your wings today
time moves faster
Before and after
Excessive chatter
Keeps on blurring lines
We pretend we don’t see
(the future is uncertain you just close your eyes)
The past repeating endlessly
( tick tock tick tock)
Where the punk kids at with their anarchy
(the cookbook stolen were all livin a lie)
We could use their words to scream
Where have the poets gone
(they’re all dreaming of the book burning times)
With the bands rehashing the same old songs
(back, forth back, forth)
Where is the renaissance
(the teachers and the students are asleep on the job)
It was sold to the kids by kings
Cos time moves faster
Before and after
Excessive chatter
Keeps on blurring lines
