Tick Tock Tick Tick Tick Clock watch Tap your foot impatiently Waiting for it to come Counting the minutes Bored of counting the minutes Bored of waiting Bored of boredom Day dreaming of escaping the monotony The masses of uniformed clones Wearing what they're told to by the media Doing what they're told to do by society Too scared to question Living to work Doing the same day in, day out The train pulls in the platform A little late as expected Packed as expected Silent as expected Dead eyes staring out A glimmer of hope extinguished in each one Dreams gone but surely not completely forgotten Run, run, run as fast as you can Run from your boredom Run for your life Run to save your life Be the colour in a greyscale world Make the most of every minute Do things that make you happy Work to live Live
