Time Flies... Lyrics - Subhumans

Can you hear the sound of people laughing 

Because they think they know it all? 

Where they've been and where they're going 

As if they themselves had written on the wall 

The assuredness that power and money give them 

Their fate decided by their parents' cash 

The crank that gives them temporary laughter 

By saying "Time flies but aero planes crash" 

They can laugh off anything they can't relate to 

Until the day before the day they die 

When suddenly they long for past existence 

And claim the right to forever stay alive 

But all things in the present are outdated 

And everything must someday fade away 

Our actions are all transient and fated 

And tomorrow isn't just another day 

Can you hear the sound of people crying 

Because once they thought they knew it all? 

And now their self-assurances are dying 

As time erodes the writing on the wall 

Don't take everything for granted 

Exist as if the moment was your last 

Don't wait complacently for your future 

Don't live in memories of things gone past 

Live in awareness of the fact you're alive 

Enjoy it while you got it as the time goes by
