Song for the Eighties



    As I'm hanging out over the river below
    on a rickity bridge that wants to let go
    As I'm hanging out over the rocks and the ruts
    well to tell you the truth I never think about much
    tell you the truth I never think about us

    Scientific explanation
    you live and breathe your life in abbreviation
    You sacrifice and pay your fine
    to the god of single minds

    It's never gonna be wherever you look
    never gonna need whatever you took
    Don't do nothing to give you no shame
    Ask me again and I'll tell you the same
    Ask me again and I'll tell you the same

    It's the theory of relativity
    I'm watching the clock it's looking back at me
    you never get enough time to get it all done
    yeah at the end of the day every day has won
    end of the day every day has won

    Some will find that unemployment
    is the the only time in their lives of enjoyment
    you were never meant to run this race
    what you need's at your own pace

    Never gonna be wherever you look
    never gonna need whatever you took
    Don't do nothing to give you no shame
    ask me again and I'll tell you the same
    ask me again and I'll tell you the same
