lyrics
I remember dreaming, i remember how things were
Wide blue eyes wondering what’s next and what’s the worth
I've known it in myself, seen it everywhere i go
there ain’t no time to think about it, no time to know
What happened to you, what’s happened to everyone
Where has all the time gone, too much going on to get along
But no one cares, no one cares to contemplate
Ain’t no time to think about it, no time to relate
But does it even matter
the way things are going
no it won’t be long till the way we know is gone
and the cracks are starting to show it
Ain’t no time for thinking,
this ships already sinking
So let’s get it straight
before it’s too late and we’re left
turning through the ages
And what will you do, when all your power’s gone
when everything you’ve known’s drifted off like a song
Will you be there for yourself when you need the help
will you try your best to help someone who can’t help themselves
Bridge
And who will seed the soil and who’s fate to farm and feed
Bereft of any spoils just to keep up on our feet
and how could we go on, alone with all our hate
alone with all that money, and it don’t mean a thing
But does it even matter
the way things are going
no it won’t be long till the way we know is gone
and the cracks are starting to show it
Ain’t no time for thinking,
this ships already sinking
So let’s get it straight
before it’s too late and we’re left
turning through the ages
