Things Move Fast

I like a [?] on the new year
Anything less, I find it hard to stay cheerful
The [?] a little while ago
And it's just one long cheap shitshow
It's getting more and more light
It's getting more and more fast
Every [beat?] calling out
Every word's falling past

I was aiming for perfection
Now I'm virtually there
Not a care in the world
And the world doesn't care
And I'm tired but I'm wired
And I try to stay strong
I'm a mess but I'm moving
This world just turns on

It used to be if you called them
Someone answers your call
If things move fast, then no one hears you at all
It used to be when you died
That they buried you down
When things move fast, they started slowing it down
Everyone is getting famous
Everyone except me
Perhaps I'll rape a small child, at least I'll get on TV

I was aiming for perfection
Now I'm virtually there
Not a care in the world
And the world doesn't care
And I'm tired but I'm wired
And I try to stay strong
I'm a mess but I'm moving
And this world just turns on
