Greenwich Time

Woke up in a west that’s wild
Woke up in a sanctioned wayside
Woke up, psychos screaming, some loiter head dream descending
Left it up to chance, left it up in the air
Played it by year and played down both ends of the line
I will not let the world pass by
I woke up in the west, Greenwich time
Bared the glare of cold war trash, put it on the table
Stained the course leaking, work-a-day degradation
With the ballot box open, the flowing information
The temperature warming, and all the cloning and nonchalance
I will not let the world pass by
I woke up in the west, Greenwich time
