Lyrics
1000 Years B.C.
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.
Have you seen what's happened lately
Not much time is left to go
Children of this generation
Changing faster than they grow
Watch out all you children
Close your ears and hide your eyes
Don't be stiffened by the rust that
Sets you living pre-planned lives
Look around the world we fashioned
Built it up so you could take
Modern ways to make you happy
But you don't appreciate
Watch out all you children
Close your ears and hide your eyes
Don't be stiffened by the rust that
Sets you living pre-planned lives
I hope you know where you're going
The road sign points at nowhere
The drums of flames surround you
Rivers of age can drown you
Oh
How can we be proud and trusting
When you throw your lives away
Never think about the future
How could you have gone astray
Watch out all you children
Close your ears and hide your eyes
Don't be stiffened by the rust that
Sets you living pre-planned lives
Have you seen what's happened lately
Not much time is left to go (have you seen what's happened lately)
Not much time is left to go (not much time is left to go)
Not much time is left to go (not much time is left to go)
Not much time is left to
Not much time is left
Not much time is
Not much time
Not much
Not [vocals are looped and overlapped]
Not much time is left to go-oh-oh (not much time is left to)
Hoy hoy hoy (much much much)
Ah ah ah-ah-ah ah
