Dedication Desperation Winning in a world of ruthless automation Got to make each second count, each moment pay Pa** the post and beat the clock Can't leave off tomorrow till today Can't you see there's the writing on the wall Pressure's on and building up You're heading for a fall Nations rise and fall, but you'll outlast them all Who cares if our leaders get it wrong Dancing round the edge where angels fear to tread Lose your grip and you might fall Face the truth you just can't have it all Can't you see there's the writing on the wall Pressure's on and building up You're heading for a fall Man of principle Voice of reason Lift your eyes and see the Chaos that surrounds you Man of principle Take it easy Listen for your heart Take the time to think What living means to you Reckless in your ways, but solid in your thoughts Quick to take from fools but never caught Hidden by a twisted smile you face the world Come out from behind the mask, take a look at what you've learned
Can't you see there's the writing on the wall Pressure's on and building up You're heading for a fall Man of principle Voice of reason Lift your eyes and see the Chaos that surrounds you Man of principle Take it easy Listen for your heart Take the time to think What living means to you Can you hear the voice of reason Can hear the voices call Can you hear the voice of reason Listen closely to its song A better world lies in your keeping Grab it now before it's gone Can't you see there's the writing on the wall Pressure's on and building up You're heading for a fall Man of principle Voice of reason Lift your eyes and see the Chaos that surrounds you Man of principle Take it easy Listen for your heart Take the time to think of what you've got Man of principle Take it easy Listen for your heart Take the time to think What living means to you
