Every hour, time compressed
The fragile thread, of living stressed
A pressure cooker – keep the pace
Double down, increase the stakes
We wake up with the rising sun
The madness, it has just begun
So grab the keys, and hit the gas
Gotta race the rats, and kick some ass
(Chorus)
I remember when the only streaming
Was crystal brooks, and summer reading
When living the dream was not sarcastic
And all the toys weren’t made of plastic
The spinning wheel makes years fly by
With no time left, for you and I
This bending time is an attack
Let’s strip life down, and bend it back!
Start the day – already behind
Overwhelmed, gotta work the grind
Inbox floods, before we land
No one’s used a pen since 2010
Meetings zoom, your screen is viewed
But if you call, they won’t answer you
How are you? Have a great day!
It’s just filler people say!
(Chorus)
I remember when the only streaming
Was crystal brooks, and summer reading
When living the dream was not sarcastic
And all the toys weren’t made of plastic
The spinning wheel makes years fly by
With no time left, for you and I
This bending time is an attack
Let’s strip life down, and bend it back!
(BRIDGE 1)
It’s called free time, but it ain’t free
It burns faster than gasoline
We pay the bills, and click the bait
Gotta hit the gym, and lose the weight
Clean the house, mow the yard
Feed the kids and St. Bernard
Scroll the posts, and binge the shows,
“Where did all my hours go?”
(Chorus)
I remember when the only streaming
Was crystal brooks, and summer reading
When living the dream was not sarcastic
And all the toys weren’t made of plastic
The spinning wheel makes years fly by
With no time left, for you and I
This bending time is an attack
Let’s strip life down, and bend it back
(BRIDGE 2)
Machines invented to make our life better
And tech created to bring us together
Should give our precious lives back to us
Surprise, surprise – We got a frantic time-suck
And we, expected to do always more
Chasing productivity, dreams die, ignored.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(Chorus)
I remember when the only streaming
Was crystal brooks, and summer reading
When living the dream was not sarcastic
And all the toys weren’t made of plastic
The spinning wheel makes years fly by
With no time left, for you and I
This bending time is an attack
Let’s strip life down, and bend it back
