Ten Past Ten
We kill our time to get by
Sell hours just to survive
And the clock keeps ticking
Life keeps slipping
The clock it never stops ticking
We wear our plastic faces
All day we try to fake it
You might not see us
But we're always smiling
Always smiling
And all this time
I've seen it in your eyes
It's written on your faces
And all my life
Time and time again
You can't escape it
It's always Ten Past Ten
You've got two point five kids
Two point five cars
Two point five life
You're a slave to the wage
Exercise under halogen skies
From your ten foot cell
Yes we're happy
We're good workers
We're productive
We're so grateful
We're just ticking over
We're ticking over
We're ticking over
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
And all this time
I've seen it in your eyes
It's written on your faces
And all my life
Time and time again
You can't escape it
It's always Ten Past Ten
Time, it falls
Like smoke through my hands
Like sand through my fingers
And time, it falls
Hand over hand
Chained to the wheel
One cog among others
Round and round
To graves from mothers
Piece by piece by piece
We give ourselves away
We waste the days
We clock in
We clock out
We turn up
We burn out
We live our double lives
We smile without our eyes
And all this time
I've seen it in your eyes
It's written on your faces
And all my life
Time and time again
You can't escape it
It's always Ten Past Ten
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Was it good? Was it good?
I wanna know, was it good?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend? Weekend
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend? Weekend
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend? Weekend
Did you have a good weekend?
Was it good? Was it good?
I wanna know, was it good?
Sell hours just to survive
And the clock keeps ticking
Life keeps slipping
The clock it never stops ticking
We wear our plastic faces
All day we try to fake it
You might not see us
But we're always smiling
Always smiling
And all this time
I've seen it in your eyes
It's written on your faces
And all my life
Time and time again
You can't escape it
It's always Ten Past Ten
You've got two point five kids
Two point five cars
Two point five life
You're a slave to the wage
Exercise under halogen skies
From your ten foot cell
Yes we're happy
We're good workers
We're productive
We're so grateful
We're just ticking over
We're ticking over
We're ticking over
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
And all this time
I've seen it in your eyes
It's written on your faces

Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend?
Did you have a good weekend?
Was it good? Was it good?
I wanna know, was it good?
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend? Weekend
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend? Weekend
Did you have a good weekend?
Are you looking forward to the weekend? Weekend
Did you have a good weekend?
Was it good? Was it good?
I wanna know, was it good?
