Been trying for all my life
but i can't add up your subtraction.
work, eat, play then go to sleep
that won't get me no satisfaction.
Gotta find a way out yeah
a way out of this mess.
so sick of trying to make my time last
and ending up with less.
I know your way of doing things
and it has lost it's attraction.
why settle for twenty-four
when i can have a hundred fractions.
Who knew i'd be the one
pulling off the perfect crime.
so here's my new line
i'll change your mind
and the metric system to time.
Caused trouble all over town
and it's bound to start a reaction.
metric time will come around
it's gonna overtake your contraction
I've found a way out yeah
a way out of this stress.
i made my time last and it's total success.
Got my way of doing things
and it's bound to gain your attraction.
a hundred hours is my supply
it's gonna give us all satisfaction.
No doubt i'd be the one
pulling off the perfect crime.
so here's my new line
i'll change my mind
and the metric system to time.
