An endless race we will never win
As the hands of the clock spin and spin
Ever so cunning this game we play
Makes us wonder if we’ve lived a day
A deadly curse dooming all mankind
This funny concept: the elapsing of time
In a grinding life we all believe
Because our goal is to constantly achieve
Breathe, some say to those who run
Take a moment to have some fun
We’re already late, the runners say
If we stop and wait it’ll all be taken away
A modern world revolving around success
Forbidding all to settle for less
“It’s your duty to society and to yourself”
But by the time you get there, you’ll have nothing left
