| Every day there’s something new that’s going around
|
| Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town
|
| Business men 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 don’t 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, but you ain’t gonna have it together
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| Johnny drives a Thunderbird, he’s in a big rage
|
| Always being criticized for being his age
|
| In his nose a safety pin and life’s a razor blade
|
| He’s so sick of everything that’s been made
|
| It seems to me that maybe he’s 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 don’t you delay
|
| Get yourself right in the groove
|
| 'N' hear what I say
|
| It’s no good being lazy
|
| You’ve got to get up on your feet and shout
|
| 'Cause it’ll make you crazy
|
| When you realize you’ve been left out
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| In the future there’s no room
|
| People standing on your toes
|
| Mother nature’s on the run
|
| Everybody’s got a gun
|
| Soldiers walking in the street
|
| Giving off a lot of heat
|
| There just ain’t enough to eat
|
| If you’re poor, you’ve 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 don’t need
|
| Trouble in the family (Said, separation and the)
|
| There is no more unity (Remind me what it used to be)
|
| Complications everywhere (It seems to me it has to be)
|
| people stare (You know it’s true and)
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| Time is running out, running out
|
| Television in my home (People watching every day)
|
| Someone’s talking on the phone (I can’t hear a word I say)
|
| There’s no time to be alone (There's 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 there’s no such place
|
| Time is running out, running out |
