The Kinks - k**ing Time lyrics

Everybody's going somewhere See how they stand in line All complaining their lives are unfair Too bad for them, too bad for mine (It's the k**ing time) From now till then (k**ing time), Not knowing when They're watching me, I'm watching them Standing by the empty mine (k**ing time) It's a k**ing time I know it well k**ing time Until the bell Too late to change, too soon to tell And in between, the k**ing time (k**ing time) Giving me hell Up above the stars still shine Through the poverty and grime Of the empty streets below k**ing time, nowhere to go (k**ing time) Tell me, brother what's the plan? Will I be a working man? And occupy my idle mind Or k** the time I knew so well (k**ing time) Giving me hell Still I can smile at what I see Soap operas full of vanity So much wealth and property Side by side with petty crime Is that all life's meant to be? Commercials full of luxuries A man has one, a cat has nine And in between it's k**ing time (k**ing time) It's a k**ing time I know it well Too late to change Too soon to tell Still I can smile at what I find Waiting round and k**ing time Bite the bullet Help me through it These lunatics will take my mind Why can't life be more sublime Than all of this waste and k**ing time k**ing time I know it well It's the k**ing time
