Subhumans - Time Flies... lyrics

rate me

Can you hear the sound of people laughing

Because they think they know it all?

Where they've been and where they're going

As if they themselves had written on the wall

The assuredness that power and money give them

Their fate decided by their parents' cash

The crank that gives them temporary laughter

By saying "Time flies but aero planes crash"

They can laugh off anything they can't relate to

Until the day before the day they die

When suddenly they long for past existence

And claim the right to forever stay alive

But all things in the present are outdated

And everything must someday fade away

Our actions are all transient and fated

And tomorrow isn't just another day

Can you hear the sound of people crying

Because once they thought they knew it all?

And now their self-assurances are dying

As time erodes the writing on the wall

Don't take everything for granted

Exist as if the moment was your last

Don't wait complacently for your future

Don't live in memories of things gone past

Live in awareness of the fact you're alive

Enjoy it while you got it as the time goes by
