Been tryin' for all my life

But I can't add up your subtraction

Work, eat, play

Then go to sleep

It won't give me no satisfaction

Gotta find a way out, yeah

A way out of this mess

So sick of tryin' to make my time last

And ending up with less

Know your way of doing things

And it lost it's attraction

Myself at 24

And I can add a hundred fractions

Who'd knew I'd be the one

I'll change your mind and the metric system of time

Caused trouble all over town

And it's bout to start a reaction

Metric time will come around

It's gonna overtake your contraction

I'll find a way out, yeah

A way out of this stress

I made my time last

And it's total success

Got my way of doing things

And it's bound to gain your attraction

Hundred hours of my supply

Is gonna give us all satisfaction

No doubt I'll be the one

I'll change my mind and the metric system of time
