Citizen Fish - Time Control lyrics

I don't know who invented the clock/but it began a process that will never stop/at the age of six or seven or so/it was a decoration that went tick tock/ then by ten they invented the watch/portable guidance till the hands fell off/ and a few years later it was luminous hands/then digital figures to help you understad/conditioned by punctuality/knew when to be there - but not where to be/we thought we could control the time/by always knwing what it was/now every action has a certain speed/as we let time control us/every technological step/ is faster than the one before/watching the neighbours and the fashion shows/ to see if we need to know more/desparate to be one step ahead/loving to be followed but still needing to be led/so keep up the pace and keep in line/ you're either in the race or you're left behind/you may feel part of society but the truth is more sublime/I said "stop! take a look around you"/but you never had the time
