Everyone minds their own business

But nobody's watching the store

Everyone's playing their own game

But very few know the score

No replacing the time we're wasting

So attitudes had better improve

When the ways of the world make your little light flicker

Priorities will quickly be moved



You're never too safe to feel the fire

Everyone feels the heat

You'll never be too safe to feel the fire

Until your perfection's complete



Carnage on the corporate ladder

Bite and scratch like cats in the night

The camel's getting fatter and fatter

The needle's eye is tighter than tight

I'm not saying you shouldn't be playing

Everyone has got to pay dues

But if gaining the world makes your little light flicker

The winner will eventually loose



No time for endless division

No time for sowing bad seed

Consider the unfaithful servant

No time for letting things be

No replacing the time we're wasting

So attitudes had better improve

When the ways of the world make your little light flicker

Priorities will quickly be moved
