Citizen Fish - Time Control lyrics

stop/at the age of six or seven or so/it was a decoration that went tick tock/

then by ten they invented the watch/portable guidance till the hands fell off/

and a few years later it was luminous hands/then digital figures to help you

understad/conditioned by punctuality/knew when to be there - but not where to

be/we thought we could control the time/by always knwing what it was/now every

action has a certain speed/as we let time control us/every technological step/

is faster than the one before/watching the neighbours and the fashion shows/

to see if we need to know more/desparate to be one step ahead/loving to be

followed but still needing to be led/so keep up the pace and keep in line/

you're either in the race or you're left behind/you may feel part of society

but the truth is more sublime/I said "stop! take a look around you"/but you

never had the time
