Clannad Passing Time
Back in my schooldays, acting the fool days
One and one and one is three
And the man said, Hey, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time
Armor-clad forces, riding Trojan horses
Never made sense to me
I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red
Sly man stumbles, twists and he tumbles
He always lands on his feet
And he sets his face towards the far horizon
Won't you come this way? Can't you go that way?
But his rhythm don't miss a beat
'Cause he's doing everything he can to keep surviving
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red
So who wants a riot? People should be quiet
Don't we give them good TV?
You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction
Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside
All the way from A to Z
I can live without that kind of satisfaction
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red
Stop, pay the price, they said to me
Take this advice, you're out of your head
I said, Stop, hold the phone
This has to be cut to the bone
Too bad, I see red, I see red, I see red
