First Time Collar

One day you'll find your cliché hour glass
And you'll notice the static sand
You won't be able to flip it over
A clock works as well as its hands
How do you know the day has come
When your brain is just rotting grapes?
Will you listen to criticism
Or will you swear you've never been more safe?
Are they exaggerating
When they call you a lunatic?
Will you solve the equation
Or will you take yourself out of it?

(Carry On...)
Or do you just carry on?
(Carry On...)
Assuming you still belong
(Carry On...)
In a world that refuses to sing along with your song?

When your reception's faded
At the end of your broadcast day
Do you think it's the listeners problem
Whеn you've got nothing left to say?
If so, then what's your hang up?
First-timе callers don't know where you've been
It's not up to the other party to stomp out a flaming bag of shit!
So take your medication
Until the symptoms go away
Your self-reservation
It only works if there's a self to save

(Carry On...)
And still you just carry on
(Carry On...)
Assuming you still belong
(Carry On...)
In a world that refuses to sing along with your song...

Don't over-stay your welcome
If you have seen too much
You only get one lifetime
For some people, that's more than enough!

(Carry On...)
And still they just carry on
(Carry On...)
Assuming they still belong
(Carry On...)
In a world that refuses to sing along with their song...

(Carry On...)
Keep on keepin' on
(Carry On...)
Oh, keep on keepin' on
(Carry On...)
Keep on keepin' on!
(Carry On...)
Go on!
