People think they got a right to invade, like they know what they're after
When they're done they hold a midnight parade, it's a b***** disaster
While they're writing those doomsday charters,
Time flies, time flies
While they're shouting out complete non-starters,
Time flies, time flies
People think that they'll be safe in the crowd, like a board full of pieces
Load the dice and shout your thoughts out loud, try to flatten the creases
While they hammer out the stubborn nails,
Time flies, time flies
Use the bullet when the ballot fails,
Time flies, time flies
And it could be you with an a***nal of things to do
Do not listen to the weak, stay glued
And it could be me with the pressure pin between my teeth
Teaching kids about national joy and black sheets
While they're making sure the whole world pays,
Time flies, time flies
While they're wasting all our lives away,
Time flies, time flies
