[MD] Time IS runnin' out

Time is running
out<http://www.imeem.com/artists/steve_winwood/music/48Uc45tH/steve-winwood-time-is-running-out/#>



Everyday there's something new that's going around

Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town

Businessmen, they shake their heads and then they frown

Everybody tries so hard to put them down


It seems to me that maybe they got something going

And if you don't make an effort, then you got no way to know


Time is running out


Woman, can you hear me clear? I hope that you can

Before you go to sleep at night, take care of your man

And if you want a love that will always be around forever

Then you finally get it, ah, or you ain't gonna have it together


Time is running out, running out

Time is running out, running out


Johnny drives a thunderbird, he's in a big rage

Always being criticized for being his age

In his nose a safety pin and life's a razor blade

He's so sick of everything that's been made


It seems to me that maybe he's got bad frustration

And all we can do is try and give the right information


Oh, 'cause time is running out


Population on the move, so don't you delay

Get yourself right in the groove and hear what I say

It's no good being lazy, you've got to get up on your feet and shout

'Cause it'll make you crazy when you realize you've been left out


Time is running out, running out

Time is running out, running out

Time is running out, running out


In the future there's no room

People standing on your toes

Mother Nature's on the run

Everybody's got a gun


Soldiers walking in the street

Giving off a lot of heat

There just ain't enough to eat

If you're poor, you've got no meat


Advertising in the sky

They like to stick it in your eye

So mad it will make you cry

All the things that you don't need


Trouble in the family

(Said, "Separation and the [Incomprehensible]")

There is no more unity

(Remind me what it used to be)

Complications everywhere

(It seems to me it has to be)

[Incomprehensible] people stare

(You know it's true and)


Time is running out, running out

Time is running out, running out


Television in my home

(People watching every day)

Someone's talking on the phone

(I can't hear a word I say)

There's no time to be alone

(There's no time to get away)

Wonder why your mind is blown

(Nervous breakdown every day)


Take me where the air is clean

To the country, fresh and green

I just cannot stand this pace

Sorry, but there's no such place


Time is running out, running out

Time is running out, running out

Time is running out, running out
