Time Is Running Out-Steve Winwood

Every day there's something new that's going around Crazy people getting all dressed up to paint the town Business men they shake their heads and then they frown Everybody tries so hard to put them down It seems to me that maybe they got something going And if you don't make an effort, then you got no way to know Time is running out Woman, can you hear me clear? I hope that you can Before you go to sleep at night Take care of your man And if you want a love that will always be around forever Then you finally get it, ah, but you ain't gonna have it together Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Johnny drives a Thunderbird, he's in a big rage Always being criticized for being his age In his nose a safety pin and life's a razor blade He's so sick of everything that's been made It seems to me that maybe he's got bad frustration And all we can do is try and give the right information Oh, 'cause time is running out Population on the move So don't you delay Get yourself right in the groove 'N' hear what I say It's no good being lazy You've got to get up on your feet and shout 'Cause it'll make you crazy When you realise you've been left out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out In the future there's no room People standing on your toes Mother nature's on the run Everybody's got a gun Soldiers walking in the street Giving off a lot of heat There just ain't enough to eat If you're poor, you've got no meat Advertising in the sky They like to stick it in your eye So mad it will make you cry All the things that you don't need Trouble in the family (Said, separation and the [sea?]) There is no more unity (Remind me what it used to be) Complications everywhere (It seems to me it has to be) [?] people stare (You know it's true and) Time is running out, running out Time is running out, running out Television in my home (People watching every day) Someone's talking on the phone (I can't hear a word I say) There's no time to be alone (There's no time to get away) Wonder why your mind is blown (Nervous breakdown every day) Take me where the air is clean To the country, fresh and green I just cannot stand this pace Sorry, but there's no such place Time is running out, running out (Repeat and fade)
