We want to do it all

We think that by keeping busy
and having a million and one things to do,
the Grim Reaper will walk on by and forget us.

By keeping our nose close to the grind, 
our eyes won't meet and lock on his,
meanwhile ignoring the bell that sounds
for other unsuspecting souls.

In the meantime we keep on keeping 
our nose to the grind and our eyes
locked on the targets of tasks at hand.

No end in sight to jobs to do
No time to die today
We're way too busy

Plans are endless
The list grows longer when 
it should be winding down

It's a race to the finish line
and time is the stopwatch
with a fickle trigger finger
