Lyrics
As more time passes, the more we watch the clock
It’s an uncomfortable truth
Balancing dreams, balancing deeds
Weighing the worth of what we’ve got
Time drags and time speeds
Our perception governed by stimulation
Our experience and our achievements
Plotted on a line of A to B
However much you gain, however much you accrue
You know it’s never enough
However much you say
However much you do
You know it’s never enough
You punch the clock, ‘cos it’s hard to punch yourself
Even though that’s what you really need
The infernal timekeeper, the cursed brain-watch
Measures all and finds you lacking
Now you’re playing catch up
Like a hamster on a wheel
And getting nowhere fast
Spending more, spending more, and spending more
You’ll never make it back
Landfill time!
However much you gain, however much you accrue
You know it’s never enough
However much you say
However much you do
You know it’s never enough
However much you gain, however much you accrue
You know it’s never enough
However much you say
However much you do
You know it’s never enough
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
