Well, I don't know who invented the clock
|
But it began a process that will never stop
|
At the age of six or seven or so
|
It was a decoration that went tick-tock
|
Then by ten they invented the watch
|
Portable guidance till the hands fell off
|
And a few years later it was luminous hands
|
Then digital figures to help you understand
|
|
Conditioned by punctuality
|
Knew when to be there, but not where to be
|
|
We thought we could control the time
|
By always knowing what it was
|
Now every action has a certain speed
|
As we let time control us
|
|
Every technological step
|
Is faster than the one before
|
Watching the neighbours and the fashion shows
|
To see if we need to know more
|
|
Desperate to be one step ahead
|
Loving to be followed, but still needing to be led
|
|
So keep up the pace and keep in line
|
You're either in the race or you're left behind
|
You may feel part of society but the truth is more sublime
|
I said "Stop! Take a look around you"
|
But you never had the time
|
But you never had the time
|
But you never had the time
|
