lyrics

when you got your first wristwatch you became a part of time
at the moment you learned to read you helped the plan go (into effect)

oh now you feel older every day
day by day
fading away

mishmash melody sounding
hearing the calls but still ignore
all you see is prevailing
this isn't a law that you control

and like this you are following the trail wherever it goes
now they are high on giant sunglasses and miniature cell phones

and they keep telling you this is what you want.
but let me ask you just one question.
is it?
i mean is this what YOU want?
being yourself is so easy, have you tried?

mishmash melody sounding
hearing the calls but still ignore
tic tac timing away
what a constraining thing and what for
ki ka coolness around
keeps cooling you down on the inside
when you're looking back
you gotta know what you left

why not already live at the end of the rainbow
why not search your own garden for gold
it's not the things alone it's how you behold

mishmash melody sounding
hearing the calls but still ignore
tic tac timing away
this isn't an animal you control
ki ka coolness around
keeps cooling you down from the inside
when you're looking back
you gotta know what you left behind
