lyrics

you may think your shit don’t stink
but the truth is that your hijinks
are really not much more than plain
the same crap smells day after day

are you unique in your own mind
because if so you must be blind
you’re just the same as everyone
so please shut up and have some fun

CHORUS
30 frames per second
60 secs a minute
60 mins an hour
and 24 of those
your moments
they don’t pause for you
they speed by you
they’ll kill you

I know the sun sets once per day
but that’s just how you see time made
drive fast enough in the right way
and daylight wouldn’t go away

you’d cruise past others by the score
who figured they knew so much more
but just like you they wouldn’t git
that they’re just factories of shit

REPEAT CHORUS

how many days get flushed from us
while we try to figure what’s
the important thing in life
that make us not seem so damn trite

we all think we’re number one
stars of our films until we’re done
in real life the camera’s on
you’re number two in the re-run
