Stop dreaming of required lives, this one we'll never know And quit praying for the runaway bus, cause those rosy days are few Stop apologising for the things you've never done Time is short and life is cruel, but it's up to us to change this abnormality Rows and rows of these cheese millers, they dine in the dairy yards And a hundred loading housewives, clutch empty mill bowls to their hearts Hanging out their old love letters, on the line to try It's enough to make you stop believing, we've just come past the furious hours and all that is Yeah Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-da-pa, pa-pa-pa-da-pa, oh Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-da-pa, pa-pa-pa-da-pa Struggling after struggle, year after year The average man's wife ain't nobody, so mama's not coming Time for madness, ooh yeah Country's winning, it's our nation's fate It's nation against the co-op It's why they come down here, all the kids who give it To make decisions in a time for madness, ooh yeah Ooh Ghost on the sleep train, echoes down my track Things that they might move out from nowhere, just going round and round Oh, when the kids are drinking sweets, I'll smother them in the breeze I said I probably will, but I should have put your toys back in It's time for madness, yeah It's time for madness, yeah It's time for madness It's time for madness
