Time Marches On Lyrics

You've taken all that you can take
Time marches on again
You've broken all that you can break
Time marches on again
Spoken to those who would listen
Taken from those who would give their attention
You quoted Ecclesiastes and you brought all our hope to its knees

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
You just keep on hating the whole world if you must
If you think that's just

Take up that stone and feel its weight
Time marches on again
Cry out, "Throw first before it's too late!"
Time marches on again
Run to the shelter of sarcasm and the shield of permanent grin Wrapped in your cloak of superiority so thick
That none of that shit can get in
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
You just keep on hating the whole world if you must

Yes everything peaceful and everyone old and gray
Anyone who dares preach love and any kind word I say
And any thought of a future that just might be worth looking for
I watch you snicker and label it useless
I was once you before
I walked out that door

You've taken all that you can take
Time marches on again
You've broken all that you can break
Time marches on again
