lyrics

I just guess you'll have to find the time (Find the time)
To fit it in with the things that you really wanna do
It's like a proverb that your Dad would quote on such a day
Red, rapid flashing lights
The messengers keep calling you
To save the world by yourself
"We'll send a suit and cape"
Standard size, no wonder-guy
Dry your eyes and get flying

You gotta save the world by yourself
And we're not giving you any help
Just get it done right now
Just get it done somehow

I'm not a robot your can't switch me on anytime
You said yourself that you're tired of running the same old wheel
Your suit and tie sounds nice, seems safe but it's far too late
I got a belt and my underpants on the outside

Try to cancel the voices out
Make an attempt to process thought
You see there's no point to running, running, running now
Cos they'll just come to get ya
And you ain't go no super powers

We'd rather stay in bed
That have to stomach it
We'd rather stay in bed
