Got the Time Lyrics by Anthrax

Persistence of Time

1990

[Verse 1]
Wake up, got another day to get
Through now, got another man to see
Gotta call him on the telephone way-o
Gotta find a piece of paper
Sit down, got another letter to write
Think hard, gotta get a letter just right
Little ringing on the telephone, whoa no
Gotta write another letter

[Pre-Chorus]
No such thing as tomorrow, all we want
One, two, three, go!

[Chorus]
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head

[Verse 2]
If I tell you what I'm doing today
Will you shut up and get out of my way?
Someone, ask me what the time is
I don't know, only know I gotta go now
No time, trying to get my watch repaired
No time, never got a thing to wear
Little ringing on the telephone, whoa no
Hear a ringing in my head now

[Pre-Chorus]
No such thing as tomorrow, all we want
One, two, three, go!

[Chorus]
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head

[Guitar solo, bass solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
No such thing as tomorrow, all we want
One, two, three, go!

[Chorus]
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head

[Chorus]
Ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Time
Got the time tick, tick, ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
