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
