People are saying that times take care Of people like me And that I'm living too fast and they say I won't last Much longer But little they see that their thoughts of me Is my savior And little they know the beat ought to go A little faster So pick up the tempo Pick up the tempo So pick up the tempo just a little bit And take it on home The singer ain't singing And the drummer's been draggin' Too long Time will take care of itself so just leave time alone And pick up the tempo just a little And take it on home I'm wild and I'm mean, I'm creating a scene I'm goin' crazy I'm good and I'm bad, I'm happy and sad And I'm lazy I'm quiet and loud and I'm creatin' a crowd And I like rabies I'm 'bout half off the wall but I learned it all In the Navy So pick up the tempo Pick up the tempo So pick up the tempo And take it on home
