The Greater Depression Lyrics - Bloodbath

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
