make the grade and fail the class
take the test and do your best
watch you burn you life away
buried in the hourglass

you can open up your mind

everybody's teaching you
trying to tell you what to do
if you listen you will find
that you can open up your mind
you can open up your mind

and I just can't wait for another day
and I can't sleep cause I'm to afraid
and I don't know where I'm gawn end up next

the hourglass man
has gone away
the hourglass man he's in the sand he's in the sand yeah
the hourglass man is buried in the hourglass
