You're born, get dressed Finish school and leave the nest Get a job, get a partner Settle down and care for each other Are you sure that you sucked the apple dry Can't wait till you're old enough to die The time is ticking, for all those jobs you're clicking The time is ticking, for all those jobs you're clicking The time is ticking Nullified, are the dreams that you have kept inside Terrified, can you tell that you have lived your life What's with all these thoughts that keep spinning The problem is that, your heart is not in it What's with all these thoughts that keep spinning The problem is that, your heart is not in it Wait, the hour's too late You're not done, so let's kick up the heart rate Hate, is how it translates But it's cause you said farewell to the welfare state It only gets worse, straight to the hearse The passing of time, dressed as a mime You go to your job, you feel like a knob The sound you hear's tick tock Nullified, are the dreams that you have kept inside Terrified, can you tell that you have lived your life What's with all these thoughts that keep spinning The problem is that, your heart is not in it What's with all these thoughts that keep spinning The problem is that, your heart is not in it
