Speed Kills (alt take 3) Songtext
von Gil Scott‐Heron

Speed on by
Don′t seem to have the time
What about this life?
What about this life?
Can I call mine?

Issues in the paper
But somehow I'm not concerned
Seems that I′ve been here before
I've been here before, but I never learn

Children
Slowly turn


Time sped gone
We didn't see it go
Now what have we got?
Now what have we got?
That we may show?

Friends you swore you′d never lose
Are melted from your style
Down the tunnels of your youth
Of your youth
Now you never smile

Children
Learn to smile
