Asleep At The Wheel

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.

The first duty of man

Is to collect as many things as he can

Nothing should stand in his way

This should be his sole pursuit

Time-wasting is a crime

And history is just a noise

For God is void

Falling asleep at the wheel

Falling asleep at the wheel

Who'll stand up and fight

An enemy we cannot touch?

For it's somewhere in the air

And just by breathing you're taking part

Time-wasting's my crime

And history must have a use

For God's not void

Who'll stand up and fight

An enemy we cannot touch?

Can I ask why?

Falling asleep at the wheel
