I know you know why
I just stopped to try
I can't see how it could
be worked out, if it should

Time's running fast these days
we do come across as a waste
It's sad to say it's so

Didn't we have something real
that no one can buy, sell, or steal?
Things have changed, so I've seen
We are not what we've been

Time's running fast these days
we do come across as a waste
It's sad to say it's so

Once we ran as a team
now it's run out of steam
You will say 'give it time'
I have given all of mine

You know it'd be wrong
Trying to carry on
You must understand why
I am out

I know you know why
I just stopped to try
You can't sit and sip tea
and expect us to be
