Hey, I heard you'd run away
But where you gonna run?
You got such a pretty face,
And the world's a small, small place
'cause when you're running on your own
You know you ain't like a rolling stone
Because a stone will find it's place
And when you hear this space
Just crawl and never run
And when you're work is done
Then you'll see the sun

So sing what you want I'm a man on a mission
No time to love, no time to be wasting but
I want to know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone

Blues, I heard you caught the blues
And what was it they said
Have you got out of bed, have you got out of that?
I know a headspace that you don't
I will - you cannot and you don't
A fortune has been made on all the illness they made
And then we've gotta pay for the drugs to take it away
And then you're gonna find there's nothing in your mind
That you don't already know, that you ain't already seen
Do you live in a dream?

Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble but
I want to know if you feel above him
All the things you do that just make yourself feel undone, feel undone

Sing your song, and don't you cause trouble
Man on a mission there's a man in a bubble and
Play your cards, throw your dice
You get a piece of land and a piece of advice

No time to be wasting there's no time to be wasted
No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted
No time to be wasting always time to get wasted
No time to be wasting there's no time to get wasted

There's always time to get wasted (There's no time to waste) (4x)
There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste)
There's always time to get wasted (No time to waste)
They've got me wasting time (No time to waste)
Got me wasting time (No time to waste)
They got me wasting time (No time to waste)
