Tick Tock Tick Tock
Sit and watch the clock
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Sit and watch the clock
And what do you have to show?
You have you empty stuff,
Useless piles of trash.
Work your life away,
For empty piles of cash.
You gotta eat right, sleep right
Don’t do this, don’t do that,
Talk right, walk right,
Don’t do that, don’t do this
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Sit and watch the clock
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Sit and watch the clock
You gotta have it, gotta get it
Your life’s not complete without it
You gotta want it, gotta need it
Gotta give a shit about it
This is perfection,
Don’t you wanna be it?
This is completion
Why can’t you just see it?
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Work a job you hate
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Never come in late
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Buy your useless stuff
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Never have enough
Then you will be complete
Is that neat?
Then you will be perfect
Isn’t it worth it?
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Sit and watch the clock
Tick Tock Tick Tock
Sit and watch the clock
This is you life,
It’s ending one minute at a time
And what are you doing with it?
Author notes
I sorta chose two quotes though it's defiantly based more on the first
"This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time"
"May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. Deliver me, from being perfect and complete"

o wow angie
i love this concept because its so true. people are so hell bent on get whats in front of them having the car the clothes and everything that comes with it. they move so quickly and life passes by before there eyes with out any recognition of the things they are missing out on. its not fair because everyone does it with out even realizing it... i mean i know i do. when you referenced going to a job that you hate but your never late i imediately thought of myself. we may not do everything on the list but there is something in everyones life that consumes them and helps the use up dispicable time. when i think of time i think of how cruel the world can be for giving anything such a short life span. you know what.. when i read this i felt as though i could put this to music. i'm really bad at that but i've been trying really hard lately and this just has a brilliant easy flow that would go well in an old school deep eighties pop jam or something, you know what i'm saying, like that band i got you to listen to. anyway i'm rambling on but this write impacted me a great deal. i'm glad to see you wrote another, i always make it a point to read your stuff because your style is sometimes what i'm going for but i'm unable to follow through, well atleast not as well as you do. sorry for this incredibly long paragraph but i had to express the importance of this piece to me. you hit me hard chicka. thanks for sharing.. rock on. o and any time you wanna cd or what have you, hit this bitch up.. i have no problems spreding the joy of music with friends/family. when it hits you feel no pain, thats one good thing about music. Okay! now i'm just off topic... hahahaha epic comment... love you
