Lyrics
Greenwich Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Woke up in a west that's wild
Woke up in a sanctioned wayside
Woke up, psychos screaming
Some loiter head dream descending
Left it up to chance, left it up in the air
Played it by ear and played down both ends of the line
I will not let the world pass by
I woke up in the west, greenwich time
Bared the glare of cold war trash, put it on the table
Stained the course leaking, work a day degradation
With the ballot box open, the flowing information
The temperature warming and all the cloning and nonchalance
I will not let the world pass by
I woke up in the west, greenwich time
