Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen up, what's the time?
Said today I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
[PreChorus]
Day by day, there's a man in a suit who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think and the words they won't let you say
One fine day, gonna leave you all behind
It wouldn't be so bad if I had more time
[Chorus]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
[Verse 2]
Listen up, what's the time?
Said today I'm gonna speak my mind
Take me up to the top of the world
I wanna see my crime
[PreChorus]
Day by day, there's a man in a suit who's gonna make you pay
For the thoughts that you think and the words they won't let you say
One fine day, gonna leave you all behind
Wouldn't be so bad if I had more time
[Chorus]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
[Chorus]
Sailing down a river alone
I've been trying to find my way back home
But I don't believe in magic
Life is automatic
But I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
No, I don't mind being on my own
I said that I don't mind being on my own
