What a life what a life what a life what a life

Now all I'm hearing is tic tock tick tock ticky tock tic tock

A brother just pass me and ticking

And said he's much better off not working

And then the mad man on the corner start ticking

Can't get no overnight scraping

So dem a walking time bomb and ready to explore

Now dem a walking time bomb can't take the overload



The organizers check say them clicking

So them palavering and drinking

Not realizing the boat is leaking

And any minute now it will be sinking



Cause we a walking time bomb oh ya ready to explore

Seh we a walking time bomb the circuit overload

Who jealousy must go on as long as you think it's you alone

To eat off the pies and tell all your lies

But what a big surprise

When all the people start gathering

Communicating and saying the same thing

Too late before you realizing

That hadn't been for the reggae rhythm

Whole a we a walking time bomb oh ya

We're ready to explode and we a walking time bomb

Can't take the overload



Say we a walking time bomb

We're ready to explode anytime

And we a walking time bomb

The circuit overload



And all I'm hearing is a tic tock tic tock

A ticky tock tick tock again

Tick tock tick tock tick a ticky tick tock again

I said a brother just past me and ticking

Nothing na gwan in de juggling

Him a walking time bomb

Can't take the overload no



A wonder what the government thinking

When them palavering and drinking

Not realizing the boat is leaking

And any minute now it will be sinking

Cause we a walking time bomb

We're ready to explode now

And we a walking time bomb

The circuit overload



Jealousy must go on

As long as you think it's you alone

Eat off the pies

And tell all you lies

But what a big surprise

When everyone start gathering

Communicating and saying the same thing

Too late before you realizing

That hadn't been for the reggae rhythm

The whole a we a walking time bomb

We're ready to explode

And we a walking time bomb

The circuit overload now



All I'm hearing is tick tack tick tack

Ticky tick tack tick tack tick tack

A ticky tick tack ticky tick tack again
