Watched it go by

Seems insane that all you’ve done is to sit and stare.

Always wanted to take a chance, but you never dared.

Then you blinked a second too long, now your thirty five,

And all you’ve been doing, is to watch it go by

Must've lost your mind, pride and your soul, when you sold your dreams.

To the highest bidder, who chooses your fate, to fit in his scheme.

You dealt out your life, and the hustler said, he would sit you high,

And all you’ve been doing, is to watch it go by

Got lost in your fear, and gave up the quest, no place left to go.

Took the word of pimps who made you feel big you went with the flow.

You’re still on the streets, respectable whore, wear a suit a tie,

And all you’ve been doing, is to watch it go by

You thought it unique, you felt quite assured of your master plan.

But your fine degree and your pedigree, were bought second hand.

Your complete existence all accounted for, signed and certified,

And all you’ve been doing, is to watch it go by

Got the perfect house, with the perfect smile, for the perfect scene.

Bought a fancy car and a pretty wife to try to fit in.

But when your curtain falls, then that perfect smile will become a cry,

Cause all you’ve been doing, is to watch it go by

There’s no turning back, or changing the clock, on this time machine.

You go for a ride, you trade in your youth and they hold the lien.

The law is for you, there is a demand and you are the supply,

And all you’ve been doing, is to watch it go by
