Too Late, Too Slow

(album: Work - 2010)

Too late, the word is already in your mouth.
I can hear it comin out towards me.

Shut up. I don't want to hear a single word.
That song you're singing, it's so old, it's so old.
I'm not ignoring you.
I'm just not around no more.

Too late.
Too slow.
You give a little life away, taking your love away.

Wait...Did you tell me to fight the power,
Then go and call me a coward?
Wait...
Hey, if I'm the one that wants to stay
Then why I got my suitcase packed this way?
I'm not ignoring you.
I'm just not around no more.

Too late.
Too slow.
You give a little life away, taking your love away.

New life, don't you turn your back on me.
I'm not from around here, you see.
Cover me.
Champion, you can wake up holy, whole
If you take your punches, I've been told.
I've been told.

Too late.
Too slow.
You give a little life away, taking your love away.
