lyrics

Stop the Earth from spinning
Wanna get off this ride
Need some time for living, but I'm working
How time flies
Didn't see it coming
Man, I wanna smell those flowers
But like a slave I keep working, won’t you
Give me back my wasted hours

I wanna see life thru kids' eyes
Don't wanna be part of the spinning wheel
No time for living, no taking, just giving
Life is unreal

I wanna see life thru kids' eyes
Don't wanna be part of the spinning wheel
No time for living, no taking, just giving
Life is unreal

Invisible at 50, stupid bloody Tuesday
Bullied in the workplace, another bad news day
Getting overtaken by the trendy boys and girls
We just wanna live a normal life, in this crazy world

What's the use, I ain’t winning
Wanna run off and hide
Lines are showing and my hair is thinning
How time flies
Man, I gotta seize the moment
Make the most of my life
Put me first before anyone else
To prove that I'm alive

I wanna see life thru kids' eyes
Don't wanna be part of the spinning wheel
No time for living, no taking, just giving
Life is unreal

I wanna see life thru kids' eyes
Don't wanna be part of the spinning wheel
No time for living, no taking, just giving
Life is unreal
Life is unreal
