Lyrics
CHORUS:
You better run and move a little faster
Is what they say when you’re heading for disaster I say - put the brakes on now
Time to wait now
Be a little late right now
But if you don’t you be stranded on the platform Well that’s a good place to build and to transform So put the brakes on now
Time to wait now
Be a little late right now
1. VERSE
Up 5.30 with an instant death wish Home 5:30 – far from festive
Your mind’s congested with bullshit Temper’s tested
Folded fist, flaming face – act aggressive
Next step depression and a hermit lifestyle
Hypodermic needle needed insert that spike now
Fear takes flight now – turn the lights out
At first, you feel you’re an intellectual lighthouse
But wait for the moment where the shit is neck-deep Then comes the big sleep and you should expect heat Cause hell is waiting for those who sweat the technique You could have done differently and pushed the brakes b Hold your horses – Moses forfeit!
Won’t reach the Promised Land till you count your losses Your life’s in orbit – get shit sorted
Keeping up appearances, that’s retarded
BRAKES ON
CHORUS:
You better run and move a little faster
Is what they say when you’re heading for disaster I say - put the brakes on now
Time to wait now
Be a little late right now
But if you don’t you be stranded on the platform Well that’s a good place to build and to transform So put the brakes on now
Time to wait now
Be a little late right now
Put the brakes on(x 8)
2. VERSE
Mother, it’s all right, the food is magnificent
Same ingredients, no crude experiments
Don’t make no excuses – cause the mood is brilliant
We just wanna socialize with each other – be civil
Don’t start these “out of the blue rows” – just giggle
At life’s absurdity – and wash back your Swizzle
Your in the middle of a caring circle, it’s all love Acknowledge the support; don’t take us to food court “Don’t you think the pie should have had 2 more minutes?” No Mom – it’s cool – this dish would cure a bulimic
Ought to be a limit to this silly skillet epidemic
Be proud of your culinary skills – stop being so timid
Let it slide – and take Pride in your work
You provided since my birth
Let the stress disperse
And put the brakes on
CHORUS:
You better run and move a little faster
Is what they say when you’re heading for disaster I say - put the brakes on now
Time to wait now
Be a little late right now
But if you don’t you be stranded on the platform Well that’s a good place to build and to transform So put the brakes on now
Time to wait now
Be a little late right now
Put the brakes on(x 8)
