Time goes by,
And we watch our lives,
As they're sadly slipping away
Alone, we cry

So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never hear
When you were young you didn't care
It's the one that stole your fathers pride,
That mighty mighty dollar sign
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be

Prepared to jump,
When the ship has sunk,
And you're slowly watching it drown
Alone, you cry

So follow that tune quickly
Or you'll lose the melody you never hear
When you were young you didn't care
It's the one that stole your fathers pride,
That mighty mighty dollar sign
These are the things that matter now,
So sing along and be prepared

Maybe we care about too much
Time we lost and in spite we run,
But I'm wrong, but you know i'm wrong
