wake up, face the future

cause I feel I have to salute you

on the things that's goin on, in this world today

you can run, but you can't hide

you have to find your sense of pride

to let you know, that this world, will never decay



It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

It's later than it's ever been, time's up, in this world, today



brothers and sisters, grab a hold

there's a story solid as gold

we must try to stay alive

we must strive, and never slip away

where there's sunshine, there is rain

where there is joy there will be pain

we must move, m?--? move

we must move, and never decay



It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

It's later than it's ever been, time's up, in this world, today



yo yo my brother my brother

let me lay it on the downstroke

I want you to know that I will provoke

anything that life will bring

because within these words I have a antidote

the time is comin' for the song that I'm hummin'

to let you know it's later than it's ever been

your time is up, you sad faced clown

now here's da breakdown (da breakdown, da breakdown, da breakdown)



[sung vocals]

It is later, than it's ever been

the life you livin', try not to sin

it is later, it is later, it is later, than it's ever been



keep on movin', and grab a hold

the life you livin', must have control

we can do it, we can do it, we can do it, if we try



It is later, than it's ever been

the life you livin', try not to sin

it is later, it is later, it is later, than it's ever been



keep on movin', and grab a hold

the life you livin', must have control

we can do it, we can do it, we can do it, if we try



[spoken style]

It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

It's later than it's ever been, time's up (time's up)

It's later than it's ever been, time's up, in this world, today
