Lyrics

Tick tick tock
The pressure never stops
It's ticking off the minutes
'Til it's time to punch the clock
We're wasting all our
Worries on the things we can't control
And holding on to pennies
While we give away
Our soul

Sending out a signal
And building up our wealth
And praying for a hero
To save us
From Ourselves
The messenger is broken
So we're spelling out the words
And dancing to some music
That nobodies ever heard

And I suppose I just miss all the old songs
They're better when we all sing along
There ain't no way
To right all the old wrongs
If we get started
It won't take very long
And it don't matter how you fight it
We're not built to last
If you keep on looking backwards
You'll get trapped in the past
Be grateful for the life that you've got
The world doesn't stop
It's coming
Ready or not
Ready or not
Ready or not

Click, click pop
It's time to take your shot
Get your feet beneath ya
And show us what ya got
Let's fill the room with energy
And let the worry go
Can't take it all with ya
So it's time to take it slow

And I suppose I just miss all the old songs
They're better when we all sing along
There ain't no way
To right all the old wrongs
If we get started
It won't take very long
And it don't matter how you fight it
We're not built to last
If you keep on looking backwards
You'll get trapped in the past
Be grateful for the life that you've got
The world doesn't stop
It's coming
Ready or not
Ready or not
It's coming ready or not
It's coming ready or not
Or not
Or not
It's coming
Ready or not!

And I suppose I just miss all the old songs
They're better when we all sing along
There ain't no way
To right all the old wrongs
If we get started
It won't take very long
And it don't matter how you fight it
We're not built to last
If you keep on looking backwards
You'll get trapped in the past
Be grateful for the life that you've got
The world doesn't stop
It's coming
Ready or not.
