Pack up your things
Your work here is done
A slave to the beast
No mercy with time
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 world's drinking from a cup 
That no one wants to share
Words from the king 
That no one wants to hear

Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?

Retrench me because of machines
Kids trading roses for guns
Track mark under the sleeve
I can't talk I need to run
Love's thrown away the ring
Not knowing what to say
Mama, won't you sing
It's like you're cut by the blade

Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?

Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
Just don't be running late, are you on time today?
(Don't be running late...)

Don't be running late...
