Too Fast
Tyrannosaurus Rex was king
Reptile life it was in full swing
Then evolution had to have its fling
And that changed everything
Folks talk about the good old days
I realise I'm stuck in my ways
The past is clear but the future's a haze
And here comes the latest craze
I won't be making any fashion statement
I'm concentrating on decay abatement
Time's moving too fast for me
Days blow by like leaves from a tree
I guess I ought to just let it be, but
Time's moving too fast for me
Time's moving too fast for me
And if you say "so long" I'll disagree
Cause that finish line's about all I see
Time's moving too fast for me
My kids call me the Stone Age man
Carbon dated when time began
In the race of life I'm an also ran
Pass that d******m
I don't care for technology
Don't want to download junk for free
I like a record not an mp3
Cause that feels real to me
My truck is rolling down that superhighway
I'm overloaded and it's starting to sway
Time's moving too fast for me
Days blow by like leaves from a tree
I guess I ought to just let it be, but
Time's moving too fast for me
Time's moving too fast for me
And if you say "so long" I'll disagree
Cause that finish line's about all I see
Time's moving too fast for me
And everywhere I go I see people killing time
Don't they know that killing is a crime
Some say change is a natural fact
Fight or flight, you've got to react
But no-one ever got through life intact
Get real, those cards are stacked
Don't matter if you're rich or poor
You're still gonna hear that slamming door
There's no time machine'll help you endure
And here's one thing I know for sure
Those Einstein theories, oh they sound so clever
But even Albert couldn't live forever
Time's moving too fast for me
Days blow by like leaves from a tree
I guess I ought to just let it be, but
Time's moving too fast for me
Time's moving too fast for me
And if you say "so long" I'll disagree
Cause that finish line's about all I see
Time's moving too fast for me
Time's moving too fast for me
