Time Scare

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

7:00, time to wake up

Get ready, get ready, and please eat enough

It’s off to school, off to school

Off to work, off to work

Get ready, get ready, step with a perk

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

Work, work, work, work

Don’t screw up, don’t screw up

Stay on the clock, stay on the clock

 

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

Keep focusing on the clock

Don’t let your time run out

Keep at it, keep at it

Don’t let your time run out

 

Don’t let your time run out

Keep it concise, keep it concise

You’ve got way too much to do

Please don’t get stuck, don’t get stuck

 

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

 

Don’t let your time run out

Cram 5 tasks into a minute

You can do it

You can do it

If you don’t let your time run out

 

Get it done, get it done

And don’t let your time run out

So much to do, so much to do

Please don’t let your time run out

 

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

 

Time’s running out and you still aren’t done

Hurry it up, hurry it up

Make it concise and hurry it up

Don’t let your time run out

Don’t let your time run out

 

No time for idleness

For then your time will run out

Always stay working, always stay learning

And maybe the clock will freeze for a minute

So your time doesn’t run out

 

TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK

 

Keep working all day long

Because your time is running out

Don’t let your time run out, don’t let your time run out

Then maybe you can have some fun

 

Actually, SCRATCH THAT!

No time for fun!
Gotta keep your time in check

Don’t let it run out

…don’t.

 

TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK

 

Has my time run out? I can’t be sure

The ticking’s too loud, I can’t think anymore

I can’t let my time run out

But I can’t be sure if I don’t know how much I’ve left

 

Constantly devoted to my work

Work, work, work, work

I got distracted

My time ran out

Oh no oh no

My time has run out

 

Curse you, clock!
Curse you, tick tock!

And that constant reminder of what I have lost!

All the time wasted so worried, and yet,

I still worry and wonder ‘bout what I have left

 

Do I have any left?

Anything at all?
Or am I a slave to that thing on the wall?

That thing that always goes tick and tock

Making me worried about the clock

The clock the clock that goes tick and tock

And I can’t remember what I lost

Tick, tock, tick, tock

 

The sound is engraved into my skull

But I can’t fight back for I’ve lost it all

All of my sanity, all of my hope,

All because I couldn’t keep track of that stupid, stupid clock.
