Pack up your things   Your work here is done   A slave to the beast   No mercy with time      They brand you with the fire   Then push you into the sun   They want the free land to expire   They want everyone to be numb   The worlds drinking from a cup that no one wants to share   Words from the king that no one wants to hear      Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)      Retrench me because of machines   Kids trading roses for guns   Track mark under the sleeve   I can't talk I need to run   Loves thrown away the ring   Not knowing what to say   Mama won't you sing   It's like you're cut by the blade      Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)      Don't be running late are you on time today (x4)   (Don't be running late)      Don't be running late (till the end)
