Thou Shalt Not Be Slow

(album: Ports & Chords - 2013)

Looking left is wrong
But looking right is even wronger
Sleep means killing time
And killing time is taking you longer
Get it done and do it now
A break won't make you stronger
To make it to the top
You're not allowed to zone of comfort

So hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Boy, you can't afford it)
Hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Come on and get on it)
Hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Hurry up and earn it)
Time is running out!

And you feel the fire, fire the fire, fire
It's burning right behind your back
Don't slow down or you'll be dead
Fire, fire the fire, fire
Sparks are creeping up your fuse
The world has educated you too well
Be fast or burn in hell

Zero innovations
When your time is on the decline
Shut off creativity
When clocks are ticking so fine
If you want to keep your job
You have to beat the deadline
Don't you dare waste
A single second in the meantime

So hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Boy, you can't afford it)
Hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Come on and get on it)
Hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Hurry up and earn it)
Time is running out!

And you feel the fire, fire the fire, fire
It's burning right behind your back
Don't slow down or you'll be dead
Fire, fire the fire, fire
Sparks are creeping up your fuse
The world has educated you too well
Be fast or burn in hell

When has being busy
Become so appreciated
No need to do it right
When being first can compensate it
Why is everyone on schedule
Even though they hate it
'Sorry, but I got no time
I know it's complicated'

So hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Boy, you can't afford it)
Hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Come on and get on it)
Hurry hurry up, hurry up
(Hurry up and earn it)
Time is running out!

And you feel the fire, fire the fire, fire
It's burning right behind your back
Don't slow down or you'll be dead
Fire, fire the fire, fire
Sparks are creeping up your fuse
The world has educated you too well
Be fast or burn in hell
