I used to think about things like taxes and war
I'm not connected but somehow I keep on paying for them
I thought they needed us to stimulate economy
If that's true they should give it back to me
In this caffeinated world of mine
I wonder where the days go
And the sands of time are slipping through my hands
In this world of ours, I've got to break the silence
Of a lonely nine-to-five
Of stressing all our lives
These days I spend 'em like I'm spending from a loan
Plenty of offers but I'm good at losing on my own
When I get down I see the seagulls in the sky
Reminding me the ocean is close by
In this caffeinated world of mine
I wonder where the days go
And the sands of time are slipping through my hands
In this world of ours, I've got to break the silence
Of a lonely nine-to-five
Of stressing all our lives
Another pop star on the tabloids and the screen
Selling the easy way if you understand what I mean
La-lala-lala-la is the usual refrain for a sellout, for a sellout
What happened to that soul you sing about?
In this caffeinated world of mine
I wonder where the days go
And the sands of time are slipping through my hands
In this world of ours, I've got to break the silence
Of a lonely nine-to-five
In this caffeinated world of mine
I wonder where the days go
And the sands of time are slipping through my hands
In this world of ours, I've got to break the silence
Of a lonely nine-to-five
Of stressing all our lives
