Time Flies - Classics of Love

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 bloody 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 arsenal 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
