Lyrics
VERSE 1
Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
No mercy with time
They brand you with the fire
They push you into the sun
They want the freedom to expire
They want everyone to be numb
The world's drinking from a cup
That no-one wants to share
The words from the king
That no-one wants to hear
CHORUS
So don't be a running life
You wont turn to time x4
VERSE 2
The trash may clog up machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track marks under the sleeve
I can't talk i need to run
A lost stowaway in the rain
Not knowing what to say
Mama wont you sing
It's like a cut butterfly
CHORUS
SOLO (C#m)
