So we try, and try
All of our life
Working with such pride
Makin cash just to survive

As we race, and grade
And judge, always
Other folks' mistakes
Makes us good to feel that way

And don't you know
It never stops
Try to please the world
And beat the ticking clocks
But I, I'm not letting it
Happen this time, no, no

Because they're rooting I'll fail
And rooting she'll bail
They feel so secure
When I'm in this jail
But I, I'm not letting it
Happen this time, So I'll...

Move to the other side of the block
So we won't ever have to stop
Making the rounds, havin the laughs
Singin the sounds of relaxin
And on the other side of the clock
The power switch will be turned off
And all will be well, and time will stand still
And I will be locked out from my jail.
