Tick Tick Tick
Can you hear it?
The pounding of every beat.

Tick Tock
Can you hear it?
Evolution's hand.

Wishing for Summer,
Then for fall.
Wishing my life away...

How many hours can I work?
How many classes can I take?

Tick Tick Tick
I need money.
I need knowledge to get money.

Tick Tock
Your on the clock.

I don't have time for this.
Can't you go any faster.

Tick Tick Tock
Can you hear it?
The pounding of my heart.

Tock Tock
I'm off the clock.
Missed the punch,
I'm done.
