Clock's ticking away
Life is a gamble
You got the losing hand
Slam down your fist
'Cause nothing works as planned
You look to the future
It's so far away
But then you look at the years
They flew by and it seemed like yesterday
Time's flying by
You're at the top of the world
You don't know the word defeated
After all is complete
A quick flick of the switch, lights out
And now you feel cheated
Out of life, out of time
Look for the truth but where
Can you find, 'cause all that you had
Is now taken away
Faded away
Faded away
Broken back and callused hands
Is all that you'll find on the working man
Because he stepped to the plate
Went against the grain
And now we see the faces
That are mourning in pain
Clock's ticking away
No turning back
You go to the place you retreated
The little that you had
Been cut short from your wasted life
And still you feel cheated
Out of life, out of time
Look for the truth but where
Can you find, 'cause all that you had
Is now taken away
