Time. What you gonna do with your time?
'Cause it's calling you.
Yeah, yeah. You know. Abomination, so far.
You never have time for anyone.
Are you living it up or packing it in?
Hear everyone say
"I think it's time we shake it up."

We've been here for centuries
Now it's time we shake it up
What we came we came to do

It's your thing, get your face-first falls
When I call you to the middle of the ring
Abomination (so far)
