72 Hours

Time flies into yesterday
 And all those things now are so far away
 But some things never seem to change
 I'm still the same old kid
 I don't get paid
 I don't get laid
 And I don't really care
 They told me they had a cure
 But it's been seven years and I'm still waiting
 For every saint and every jerk
 Everyone has their things
 We're maniacs
 Hypochondriacs
 And that's just fine with me
 'Cos though our clocks are ticking
 Right now we're here and kicking
 If I head for that cliff will you still catch me?
 Each time they turn it up
 But I just tear it down
 My thoughts alkaline and I run on gasoline
 It's so unfair but that is life
 That may be so but I don't have to like it
 We've always got what's in our minds
 Each laugh and happy day
 From every rush
 Each stupid crush
 They never go away
 'Cos though our clocks are ticking
 Right now we're here and kicking
 If I head for that cliff will you still catch me?
 Each time they turn it up
 But I just tear it down
 My thoughts alkaline and I run on gasoline
 'Cos though our clocks are ticking
 Right now we're here and kicking
 If I head for that cliff will you still catch me?
 Each time they turn it up
 But I just tear it down
 I'm still the same old kid
 I don't get paid
 I don't get laid
 And I don't really care!
