Time Delay Songtext
von The Passage

You′re made to live like running clockwork
They make you run like living clockwork
Never time to think about the future
A day to earn a living
A day to sleep it off
A day to lose it
It's democratic
You have to pay for time for thinking
They always make you pay for time for lying
They always make you pay for time for dying
They extend the years they spend
Investing time
They fear the end
And when you give up any time off
You′re only filling in the hours
Between the earning and the spending
They don't teach us time is money
They want to make us think that time is money
A clock-face measures up the cost of living
It takes a minute to believe them


It takes an hour to see they're wrong but
It takes a life to tell them never
You have to pay for time for breathing
They always make you pay for time for feeding
They always make you pay for time for stealing
Never give you
They never give you
Never give you
Never give you time
You′re made to live like running clockwork
They make you run like living clockwork
Never time to build another future
They pay the daily breadline
You pay them back in time
So you′re always fall behind them
They've taken life to run in circles
They′ve taken time to run in circles
For you and me to run in circles
The future life
Another life
A better time
A carnal life
It's down to beat the clock out
Messing with the hands
That knock them out of joint
A fight for a change of time
The right to shape your life
The right to make a life
They never give you
Never give you
Never give you
Never give you time
A fight for a change of time
The right to change your life
The right to shape our life
A social end
Creative end
Creative time
A carnal life
Taking the trouble
Coming together
Forcing the issue
You′ve got to strike to kick the clock out
You've got to strike to kick the clock out
You′ve got to strike to kick the clock out
You've got to change
You've got to change
You′ve got to change
