'' People''

Running here and running there
                                  Never getting anywhere
                                  Going going going gone
                             Back again though not alone

                             Hurry hurry rush and wait 
                                    Double time or you'll be late
                                    Push and pull and palpitate
                            Try to make it through the gate
                          
                             Mount your horses,catch your plane
                                      Ride your bikes or go by train
                                      Take your car or you may walk
                             Hurry now,no time to talk

                             Beat the deadline,make the goal
                                       Keep the guard up,leave no hole
                                       Never is there time to rest
                             Got to do your very best

                              If at first you don't succeed
                                       Acceleration is what you need
                                       Speed up now don't take so long
                               To do all this you must be strong
