Time Control
Well, I don't know who invented the clock But it began a process that will never stop At the age of six or seven or so It was a decoration that went tick-tock Then by ten they invented the watch Portable guidance till the hands fell off And a few years later it was luminous hands Then digital figures to help you understand Conditioned by punctuality Knew when to be there, but not where to be We thought we could control the time By always knowing what it was Now every action has a certain speed As we let time control us Every technological step Is faster than the one before Watching the neighbours and the fashion shows To see if we need to know more Desperate to be one step ahead Loving to be followed, but still needing to be led So keep up the pace and keep in line SongtexteYou're either in the race or you're left behind You may feel part of society but the truth is more sublime I said "Stop! Take a look around you" But you never had the time But you never had the time But you never had the time Aus Songtexte Mania
