Shelter - Time's Ticking Away lyrics

We gave into our pa**ions but were never satisfied And all the public pressure made us only live a lie Gave into scripting persons who never wished our best How much will we give in till we become what we detest? So I've gotta say: time's ticking away I say let's take success in our hands Let's start taking command All our short term pleasure is our driving force in life Which leads us to more suffering, tragedy and vice Everyone's a victim, only few are safe So we must take control before we become total slaves Let's start taking command of life We're living this life like we watch tv, just see I can't let this world react upon me, not me Grab a hold of opportunity at any cost
