Although your clock is running low
There is a place for you
And if you don't just settle down
There's nothing we can do
Too many fish are caught swimming upstream
Too many people holding onto a dream
That just won't come true
And to the uninitiated
Everyone can see
Your time was wasted
On anyone but me
There was a man who was working on
A very different trade
And through the years he continued on
He had to pinch and save
And though he claimed it was a job he loved
He had to quit when the going got tough
It was the smartest move he made
And to the uninitiated
Everyone can see
Your time was wasted
On anyone but me
