The Greater Depression Lyrics

The Greater Depression

All he ever wanted was to skip across the water







Tick tock the clock is getting faster







Vicariously



Lives through the dusty



Pebbles while thrusting



Them onto the pond



So very trusting



Betting the calm is strong



And won't let them drown



He's got to swallow his pride



He followed horrible advice



And hollowed his account



With a roll of the dice twice



Now the market's a rollercoaster ride



He's back to the beginning



With no retirement in sight







Tick tock the clock is getting faster



Can't sit back



And watch the world move backwards



He's got to be moving forwards



He's got to be moving faster







Today he's older



Tomorrow he's older than today



He's got to get bolder before he's older



And throws his life away



Those damn revelations



Running around his head



Increasing frustration



And motivation



Look he's scared to death



He's got to do something today



Before the terrorists start attacking



Before foreign policy instigates another Iraqi



With a suitcase who wants to blow himself up for Allah



Better to die chasing a dream than regret not trying at all







Tick tock the clock is getting faster



Can't sit back



And watch the world move backwards



He's got to be moving forwards



He's got to be moving faster







Passes time to forget time is passing him by



Tick tock the clock is getting faster



Can't sit back



And watch the world move backwards



He's got to be moving forwards



He's got to be moving faster



Tick tock the clock is getting faster
