EN

You really can't be late To meet the heads of state Fashionably fuming If they have to wait Running out the door Man, you are an eyesore Had no time for grooming Groping for a foothold on the floor You're always late Or falling behind Now, man, you gotta get up And get there on time You make people wait Now make up your mind Man, you gotta get up and get on the dime Man, you gotta get up and get there on time You wait until your turn A living to be earned Isn't it familiar The things we've learned? Spend some time at school Then work is like a whirlpool Isn't it peculiar The way we're fooled into following the rules? You're always late Or falling behind Now, man, you gotta get up And get there on time You make people wait Now make up your mind Man, you gotta get up and get on the dime Man, you gotta get up and get there on time Running out the door Man, you are an eyesore Had no time for grooming Groping for a foothold more and more You're always late Or falling behind Now, man, you gotta get up And get there on time You make people wait Now make up your mind Man, you gotta get up and get on the dime Man, you gotta get up and get there on time
