No Time

So go on and say it
Just spit it out
Say it until you can't quit
Say it until there is no doubt

I don't even know your name
And this has me feeling depressed
It has me feeling pretty lame
Without the knowledge i can't rest

Will they measure my will
Will they use me as a target 
Because im standing still
Their names i forget

But on the highway i hear a sound
It's a sort of wild beast
It's measuring me pound for pound
I'm unprotected at least

See what i mean
There is no time to waste
It's only you i've seen
Move with such haste

Because the wrench is ready to rust
And the ocean is having another drought
It isn't made up of lust
For it's this i couldn't live without
