Out of Time

Out of Time

Verse 1

Hide your husbands, hide your boyfriends

I'm coming for them

They've reached the age of maturity

And now they'll be used and abused

Subjected to harsh treatments

Treated worse than dogs

Rites of passages are common

And this particular one is a favourite of mine

Through their loss and through their pain

I'll gain everything that's been promised to me

Verse 2

When you control nothing

Everything will eventually work against you

Inflation and technology are never to blame

For that, you'll have to use a mirror

Your inheritances have been squandered

And your sole objective is to hide from competitors

The dreams of your country haven't been realized

You took your eyes off the prize

But still you complain

You are confused despite what most people may say

Whose life is it anyway?

It's yours and you've ruined it

Verse 3

Children gather around for your daily dose of madness and misery

You'll have to fend for yourselves

In a world that's been described as being unforgiving

They preach that education will be your saving grace

But it's just another religion

The only thing your elders can do for you

Is pat you on the head and feed you fairy-tales

Chorus

When you're out of breath

You won't be immune to the effects of time and space

Only fools reject the inevitable

Every road has been marched on

And now you're out of time
